Yes. The Math Placement Exam assists with placing you in the MATH course that meets your math skills. The MPE you take is determined by your major. Students are placed into 2 groups.

Group 1: This group is for students in the College of Engineering and the College of Science (with the exception of Biology). Group 1 will register to take the MPE proctored by TAMU personnel with one opportunity to retake the exam. 

Group 2: This group is for students in the Department of Biology and all other majors at Texas A&M (not including the College of Engineering or Science). These students can take the MPE a total of three times, but there is a two-week waiting period in between.  

More information on the MPE can be found on the Math Placement Exam page.  

The Language Placement Exams are designed to see where a student is proficiency wise. You can receive credit for your proficiency. This exam is ideal for students interested in continuing their studies of a language they have prior knowledge of or studied. You should complete the exam prior to your NSC. 

The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a requirement by the state of Texas that all students enrolled at public institutions of higher education demonstrate college readiness in reading, writing, and mathematics. Students must meet the TSI exemption criteria or pass the TSI Assessment. 

Students should complete the TSI Assessment prior to their NSC. Not all students will need to take the TSI Assessment because they have been deemed exempt. A full list of exemptions can be found on the Academic Success Center's website.
