UNL MATH PLACEMENT EXAM
Seniors who plan to attend UNL should take advantage of a one-time opportunity to take the UNL Math Placement Exam (MPE) here at Millard South on Wednesday, April 2 (UNL designates this date). Interested seniors need to register with Mrs. Grazziano in the Counseling Center. Taking the MPE at MSHS offers seniors the benefit of:
- Taking the MPE in a familiar setting that is conducive to good performance.
- Taking the MPE at a time when most seniors are still studying mathematics.
- Protecting the option of retaking the MPE at New Student Enrollment after reviewing the exam.
NOTE: If you are going to UNL and will be taking a math class you will have to take this Placement Exam in the summer during Freshman Orientation. Total testing time is about 45 minutes. The exam will be held in the Lecture Hall at 8:00 AM. WE NEED TO PROVIDE A COUNT OF HOW MANY TESTS WE NEED BY THURSDAY, MARCH 6 – SO PLEASE SEE MRS. GRAZZIANO NOW!!
