 There are placement tests for subject areas of math, English and writing, and foreign language. Math placement tests should be completed prior to orientation, unless you have AP, IB, or direct equivalency transfer credit for math. If you have one of these types of credit, you are not required to take a math placement test. Placement scores for math are important for our ability to schedule you and any math and or natural science courses. Please write in your supplemental worksheet either the math placement score you earned, this should be a letter such as L, M, N, R, S, or T, or the AP, IB, or direct equivalency credit you have. Please review the supplemental AP, IB handout for credit by score information. Directions for math placement testing can be found on the math department website. The English placement test is required for some students based on their ACT or SAT English subscores and or age. English placement testing is only available on campus and cannot be completed online. You can determine if you are required to take this placement test by visiting the placement section of the English departmental website. If you are required to take this test, please note it on the supplemental worksheet for when you come to campus. Foreign language placement testing is offered to students who plan to continue in a language for which they have previous experience. For example, a student who took French in high school can take a placement test whereas a student who wants to begin a new language would not. Foreign language placement testing is only offered on campus. Please refer to your supplemental worksheet. If you have already received advanced placement exam credit or have anticipated credit but have not received scores yet, please mark this on your worksheet. In order to receive credit for an AP exam, you must have an official score sent to Ohio State from the College Board. You can find additional instructions about submitting score reports on the testing center's website.
