I think that's basically every university. That being said, its just a way to test out of math reqs to hit minimums for starting certain major tracks. No reason someone couldn't take the math courses at university in a general ed. major and then transfer over.
- ghaff 5y agoI don't have a large personal sample size, but 1.) I'm pretty sure giving a math test to incoming students isn't standard in the US. In any case, they generally already have SAT/ACT scores. 2.) Furthermore, in many (though not all) cases, once you're enrolled you can major in whatever you want.
- analog31 5y agoI'm only familiar with the University of Wisconsin system. They use the math test to slot you into levels ranging from calculus to a remedial math course. Don't know why they don't just use SAT/ACT. As for majors, there are limited admissions into some programs such as engineering and business, where you are not formally admitted until after your first year, and have to make a certain GPA. Not all majors had such requirements. Then there were some unique situations. Majoring in music performance required an audition, and the incoming students tended to be playing at a very high level.
