TAMUG MPE for Non-science Majors

Students will complete the MPE 2 in Howdy prior to their new student conference at home, at any time.

Who Must Take the MPE

Anyone who is not transferring in a college level math course must take the MPE. Most transfer students are not required to take the MPE if transferring in prior college level math from another institution.

Statistics courses do not count as a math course for MPE exemptions.

How to take the Practice MPE & Official MPE Exams

Use the practice MPE exam in Howdy or print a paper version, under the Placement Practice Tests section of the math website, to help you prepare for this 90-minute exam. Practice MPE scores will not be used as placement scores. Only a proctored MPE exam score can be used as an official placement score.
