are not used for admission purposes, but they do determine which math and

students will have to take the exam, but there are some circumstances under which
you may be exempt. Seniors: If you are planning on attending a CSU, we
encourage you to take care of this requirement (Placement Tests) early in the
spring. By completing this process early, you will not have to worry about
missing any deadlines for this requirement. Free online preparation for these
