Required Placement Tests

All new students must complete the Universities of Wisconsin placement tests for English and Math at least one week prior to your registration day to get a complete class schedule. Advisers use these scores to determine the classes best suited for you!


 
Math Placement Test: Students should take Math Test A, the un-proctored, online, on-demand math test. You can take the exam from home on your own computer at any point once registered. UWRF will accept either Math A or Math B, but we recommend Math A as the more flexible option. Math Test B is proctored and may incur an additional fee for proctoring.

ACT Placement: Students may also submit ACT or SAT scores for course placement. Please email admissions@uwrf.edu to submit these scores.

Optional Modern Language Placement Test: If you have prior experience in Spanish, French or German and wish to continue studying, consider taking the Modern Language Test. This can earn you up to 12 free credits through the Modern Language Department's retro-credit program. Email catherine.nasara@uwrf.edu with questions.

  • The exams are available 24/7.
  • Take exams from home on a computer or tablet (not a phone, it’s too small).
  • Complete each exam in one sitting, though exams can be taken on different days.

Please note: If you have ECCP/PSEO credit, Advanced Placement credit or transfer credit that you believe might satisfy the English, mathematics or foreign language requirement, please contact us to determine whether your credits will exempt you from any testing requirements Vist apply.uwrf.edu/register/PlacementTesting to find out if you qualify for any exemptions. 

Students may also submit ACT or SAT scores for course placement. Please contact admissions@uwrf.edu to submit these scores.

  • Calculator: There is a calculator built into the math exam.
  • Scratch paper: You may use scratch paper and a pencil to do preliminary calculations.
