TAMUG MPE for Non-science Majors    

Anyone who has not taken a college level calculus-based math course before enrolling to the university 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.

Use the practice MPE exam in Howdy or via this link, 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. 

• Log into Howdy
• Go to the Applicant Tab
• Follow the instructions for the Math Placement Exam 
  • You can choose to take the official or practice MPE

If you experience any technical difficulties with the math placement platform or do not have the MPE 2 option, please contact the Department of Mathematics at math-placement@tamu.edu. Please include your name and UIN in your email. 

If you have a disability and require specific accommodations to complete the Math Placement Exam, please contact the Counseling Services Office at (409)740-4736 or visit https://www.tamug.edu/Counsel/Disabilities.html for more information. Reasonable testing accommodations are provided to allow students with documented disabilities an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. In order to coordinate testing accommodations for the Math Placement Exam, the student must submit documentation of their disability for review.
