Who is exempt from the
Computerized Placement Test?
-
Students who successfully completed (including exit exam) State approved high school courses with a ‘C’ grade or better (such as Reading for College Success: 1008350, Writing for College Success: 1009379, or Math for College Success: 1200410, equivalent to ENC0021, REA0003, MAT0020 or MAT0024 in their 12th grade year of high school and subsequently enroll in the appropriate course(s) (ENC1101 and/or MAT1033) at a Florida community college/college/state college within two years of high school graduation. Any course not successfully completed with a grade of ‘C’ or better will require the student to be tested on the appropriate CPT subtest(s).
-
Students who successfully completed a State approved high school course with a ‘C’ grade or better (such as Mathematics for College Readiness: 1200700) equivalent to MAT1033 in their 12th grade year of high school and achieved a score of 87 or higher on the CPT Elementary Algebra subtest, or a score of 520 or higher on the SAT Mathematics section, or a 22 or higher on the ACT Mathematics section and subsequently enroll in a College-level Algebra course at a Florida community college/college/ state college within two years of high school graduation.
-
Students who have earned the required course grade based upon an approved chart of the Placement Criteria Document on page two. Any course grade presented, which is below that needed for exemption, will require the student to be tested on the appropriate CPT subtest(s). Note: Exemption for courses not on the chart must be approved by the appropriate department chairperson. Official documentation is required.
-
Students who attend another college or university, provide appropriate documentation, and are enrolling for courses to transfer to their primary institution (and who are not seeking a degree at MDC).
-
Students who present FCAT (Grade 10), SAT or ACT scores meeting State requirements (see chart). If multiple test results are on record, the highest
subtest scores are used. Any score presented, which is
below that needed for exemption will require the student to be tested on the appropriate CPT
subtest(s). For students presenting passing mathematics scores in
specific score ranges* (ACT Mathematics = 19-20 and SAT Mathematics = 440-490), the
College-Level Mathematics subtest of the CPT may be used to determine
placement into advanced mathematics courses (e.g. MAC 1105, MGF 1106, MGF1107, STA2023, etc.).
