Answer "YES" or "NO" to the following questions:

    Yes No 1. SAT or SAT I. Did you receive a score of 550 or higher on the Mathematics section?
    Yes No 2. ACT. Did you receive a score of 23 or higher on the Mathematics section?
    Yes No 3. Did you place in the "unconditionally exempt" category on the Early Assessment of Readiness for College Mathematics taken in conjunction with the 11th grade California Standards Test in High School Mathematics or Algebra II?
    Yes No 4. Did you place in the "conditionally exempt" category on the Early Assessment of Readiness of College Mathematics taken in conjunction with the 11th grade California Standards Test in High School Mathematics or Algebra II PLUS successful completion of a CSU-approved math or math-related course or activity taken before you enroll at a CSU campus?
    Yes No 5. Achievement Test. Did you receive a score of 550 or higher on the Mathematics Test, Level I, IC, II or IIC?
    Yes No 6. SAT II/Subject Test (beginning 1/94). Did you receive a score of 550 or higher on the Mathematics Test Level I, IC, II or IIC?
    Yes No 7. Advanced Placement Test. Did you receive a score of 3 or higher on Mathematics AB or BC examination or the Statistics examination?
    Yes No 8. Did you pass with a C or better a transferable college mathematics course, above intermediate algebra, that satisfies General Education in Quantitative Reasoning by the end of the Spring 2008 term?

    1. If you answered "YES" to any of questions 1-8 above, you do not have to take the Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) test and will not need any remedial course work in mathematics.

    2. If you answered "NO" to all of the questions above, you must take the Entry Level Mathematics (ELM). You can register for classes during the the registration period, but failure to take the ELM on or before August 30, 2008 will prevent you from registering for any classes in the Spring 2009 semester.
