EPT / ELM /
MAPE Testing
English
Placement Test
The EPT (English Placement Test) is designed to
assess the level of reading and writing skills of entering
undergraduates so that they can be placed in appropriate English
courses. Those undergraduates who cannot demonstrate college-level
skills will be directed to courses or programs to correct identified
deficiencies.
Entry Level
Mathematics Test
The ELM (Entry
Level Mathematics) test is designed to assess the basic skill level
of entering CSU undergraduate students in the areas of elementary
and intermediate algebra and plane geometry. Such skills are
required in three years of rigorous college preparatory mathematics
courses in high school.
The CSU requires
you to take the EPT and/or ELM after admission and prior to
enrollment in the CSU unless you are exempt by means of scores
earned on other appropriate tests such as the SAT and ACT. The EPT
and ELM are not admissions tests; instead, they determine
eligibility to enroll in specific courses. If you are required to
take the EPT and/or the ELM but fail to do so, you will not be
allowed to register.
