Level 3 Placement Review

Before taking a placement exam

  • It is highly recommended that you complete the Level 3 Placement Review at least once.
  • It is important to become familiar with the online system to ensure you enter answers in the correct format.
  • Review and understand the Orientation to Lumen OHM software assignment.
  • Placement exams are not reviewed for syntax errors and partial credit is not given.
  • Failure to enter answers in the proper format will lower your score and possibly lower your placement level.
  • A scientific calculator is allowed during the Level 3 Placement Exam. (One will be provided during the exam.)

The Placement Level 3 Exam has 25 questions and the results needed for placement are as follows

  • If Level 3 Placement Exam Score ≥ 80 then placement result is LEVEL 3. Eligible math courses are MATH 1230, 1215, 1150, 1140, 1130, 1120, or 1110.
  • If 60 ≤ Level 3 Placement Exam Score < 80 then placement result is LEVEL 2. Eligible math courses are MATH 0970 or 0980. These courses are very different, so it is extremely important to check your CCC program requirements to see which PATHWAY and the math course sequencing your program requires.
  • If Level 3 Placement Exam Score < 60 then the previous placement level will be used, if established.

Otherwise, placement level will be LEVEL 1. Math course is MATH 0960 or a different placement exam can be scheduled.
