Enrolled Student Math Placement Exam

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman for Fall 26. Does anyone remember what was on the math placement exam? I'm wondering if its more calculus or algebra based, and if there's a place to practice for it? thank you!

Take a look at the official webpage math proficiency exams and scroll down for the content of each course.

There's no official practice page, and the exam content is based on, but slightly different from, the course finals. The most common exams are 121 and 122. If you search for "CWRU Math xxx Chris Butler xxx Review" replacing the x's by the course number and either 'test' or 'final' you'll find specific info from prior years (as well as a more detailed syllabus and other materials). While the proficiency exams are based on the finals, some people find the proficiency exams easier than the finals, others harder. Ymmv.
