Do you have to take the UW System Mathematics Placement Test for the first time? Have you taken it already, and think you can do better if you only had a way to review? Are you returning to school and think that your high school mathematics skills need a little brushing up? Do you need a little review (or a lot of review) but don't have the time to take courses? Don't even know what the Mathematics Placement Test is, or why it matters? You have come to the right place!

Math PEP is here to help you with all aspects of the Mathematics Placement Test system. Our primary role is to help you review for the Placement Test, but we can also provide you with information about related issues, such as pre-testing (Early Math Placement Test) and re-testing.

Please select one of the following links.

1. Practice problems for math placement tests. Scroll down to "Sample Test Questions".
2. What is my current math placement at UW-Milwaukee? If you took the 04X test, click here .
3. General Information about the Mathematics Placement Test. If you want an overview of the placement test, look here. The sample questions are representative of what you will see on the actual test. You will have to scroll down the page a bit to get to the Mathematics part.
4. Early Math Placement Test This is a program for high school juniors. Think of it as a dry run for the Mathematics Placement Test. It is administered through local high schools, usually in the junior year. You should take this test if your school offers it. If your school doesn't offer it, ask why, and let us know.
5. First time test taker Whether you are a high school senior or a returning student, if you have never taken the Mathematics Placement Test before, you should review. Ah, but "what should I review, why should I review, and how should I review?"
6. Getting your scores and understanding what they mean.
7. Retesting "I know I know more math than that!" We can help you test up to your potential.
8. Self-study There is an alternative to taking non-credit mathematics courses.
9. How to sign up Are you ready to take the plunge? Here is what to do.
