Math Placement Testing

All students entering UMaine must be placed in the correct math classes. If you have a 670 on the math portion of the SAT, or a 29 on the math portion of the ACT, then you can be enrolled in any math class up to MAT 126 (Calculus I); all other students must take the mathematics placement exam.

To take the exam, wait 30 mins after activating your UMS account and then:

  • Go to https://redirector.apps.maine.edu/mathplacement
  • Log in using your UMS ID and password (if prompt). Call IT Help, 207.581.2506, if you need help logging in.
  • Self-enroll into UMaine Math Placement Exam
  • Please note there is a $25 fee for this exam

You have three attempts for each of the three parts of the exam, so if you are not satisfied with your first placement results, we suggest reviewing your high school mathematics and then trying again.
