Clemson Mathematics Placement Test


Sample Questions

The CMPT consists of 50 multiple choice questions divided into two parts of 25 questions each. The questions in Part I cover elementary and intermediate algebra and some geometry. The questions in Part II cover precalculus, algebra, and trigonometry.

A satisfactory score on Part I is required for placement into MthSc 101, 102, 103, 104, and 203. A satisfactory score on both Parts I and II is required for placement into MthSc 106.

Your score is the number of correct responses minus one-fourth the number of incorrect responses. On the average, guessing at an answer will neither raise nor lower your score unless you can elminate some of the possible responses as being incorrect.
