The Math Centre is currently running field trials on a new placement test. The goal of the project is to gather information and ultimately replace the current placement test with an Ontario-wide standard test. Students who participate in the trial will receive a $10 gift card to the bookstore. The test will cover basic mathematics knowledge and take one hour of the students' time. If you would like to help your students learn valuable diagnostic information about their mathematics skills, and receive a gift card in the process, please pass on this information to your students.
