Placement Exam Information

First of all…don’t panic!

No one has ever been sent home as a result of a poor placement exam score. These tests are simply a tool your advisor uses to determine how to place you in appropriate classes. Your success is important to us, and that means registering you for classes in which you will have every opportunity to earn an “A.”

You will receive detailed information about placement exams in your PittStart confirmation packet – like where to go and when to be there – so again, don’t panic!
