Notice to Class of 2011 Applicants Regarding Math Placement Exams

Allow me to begin by, once more, apologizing for any inconvenience regarding the Math Placemente Exams. WKU changed their system without informing our office of the new test. There seems to have been several difficulties with the test–particularly the absence of the Trig Exam for many.

If you have yet to take the test, please disregard the printed instructions included with your notification letter. Instead, visit the following link for revised instructions:
http://www.wku.edu/Info/Admissions/placementexams.html

It is extremely important that you closely follow the instructions. You MUST use Firefox 3 as your internet browser for the test. Otherwise, the code and questions will be display incorrectly with some strange numbers. I apologize that you have become the “beta” testers for the new test.

Though some students have been able to access the optional Trig exam, many (including myself) have not. I will be speaking with the Orientation office to resolve this issue in a timely matter. I will send an email to the group when we have final word.

Again, students will need to complete the Algebra exam by Wednesday of this week.

If you have further questions, please send an email to academy@wku.edu.
