Q. How can I register for and take a math placement exam?

A. First, create an account on the UH Math Placement Website. After your account is created and your eligibility is verified (remember that math placement exams are intended for first-year students with no prior college level math credit), log in to your account and select the placement exam that you wish to take (Calculus I Placement Exam or Precalculus Placement Exam). Next, you will be given the option to review study materials (optional), take a practice exam (strongly recommended), or proceed to take your placement exam.
