CCNY CAMPUS

The CCNY Math Placement Test is administered to all incoming freshman and is used for placement into mathematics or mathematics related courses. All incoming freshman who have met the CUNY's proficiency requirement in math, are required to take the CCNY Math Placement Test. If you are a transfer student you are not require to take the CCNY Math Placement test, your math placement is based on previous coursework as evaluated by our Transfer Evaluation Office. If you are unsure of your placement, please see your academic advisor for assistance.

This test does not affect your acceptance into the college. However, it does affect which course you will be eligible to take based on your major requirements and/or major entry criteria. Scores on the CCNY Math Placement Test are valid only for City College and you may only take this test once.

The CCNY Math Placement Test is in-person, timed, and multiple choice. There are 5 sections, each with 10 questions: Arithmetic, Algebra Part I, Algebra Part II, Trigonometry, and Pre-calculus. You have 30 minutes to complete each section. Calculators are not allowed.
