NOTE: IN-PERSON/VIRTUAL TUTORING AVAILABLE!

Please schedule an appointment via your Navigate account!

Log in. Log in and out of the Math Lab for each visit.

Eliminate distractions. Place your cell phone on silent or vibrate. If you must take a call, please step outside the Lab.

Be prepared. Attend classes, take good notes, and complete or attempt homework assignments.

Don’t wait until the last minute before a test to get help. The Math Lab is open 5 days a week. By appointment.

Bring important materials. Textbooks, class notes, syllabus.

Work out problems before asking for help. If the tutor can see your work, they will be better able to help you find mistakes.

Utilize your resources. The Math Lab offers access to computers, calculators, and resource materials in addition to free tutoring.

Be considerate. Please be polite and respectful of those around you. This is a safe space for everyone.

The ACCUPLACER Exam tests your knowledge in mathematics and is taken by students to determine which math class is the best fit for their skill level. Students may take the ACCUPLACER exam up to two times with at least one month between​ testing. By taking the ACCUPLACER, you could save TIME and MONEY because you could potentially test out of both USM-090 (University Studies Math) and MATH-104 (Intermediate Algebra). The table below indicates what score is needed to be placed in each course.  

Which ACCUPLACER Exam do I need to take?
The Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics test assesses a range of topics including computing with rational numbers, applying ratios and proportional reasoning, creating linear expressions and equations, graphing and applying linear equations, understanding probability and sets, and interpreting graphical displays.

The ACCUPLACER Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics placement test has 20-multiple choice questions. While you do not need a calculator to solve these problems, an onscreen calculator is available for some questions. If a question allows for the use of a calculator, an icon will appear for you to select the type of calculator you want to use. Not all questions will have this option.

Verify Computer Requirements to Take the Exam Virtually: 

College Board Examity will administer your ACCUPLACER test using their remote proctoring service. However, you must meet the computer requirements to take the exam virtually.

• Go to https://www.accuplacer.org and click on the Verify System button at the bottom of the screen to make sure the computer you will use for testing meets ACCUPLACER system requirements to take a test.
• Additionally, go to https://prod.examity.com/systemcheck/check.aspx to verify that the computer you will use for testing meets Examity system requirements.

The Praxis® tests help Kentucky educators demonstrate their knowledge of content, pedagogy and instructional skills for the classroom. These tests are important components of Kentucky's licensure and certification process and include: 

• Praxis® Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) — comprehensive assessments that measure the skills and content knowledge of candidates entering teacher preparation programs.  The tests measure academic skills in reading, writing and mathematics deemed by teacher educators to be essential for all candidates preparing to be teachers, no matter what content area or grade-level they aspire to teach.  
• Praxis® Subject Assessments — tests that measure general and subject-specific content knowledge that you need for beginning teaching 

If you have questions related to the test, email Dr. Barbara Foster, bfoster@spalding.edu.
