ACCUPLACER 

The Accuplacer is given at no additional cost to determine which math course is best for you at Spalding. The ACT/SAT mathematics sub-score (no more than 5 years old) is used to determine the appropriate placement for incoming students in mathematics courses according to the criteria below: 

The Accuplacer could place you in a higher-level math class than your ACT/SAT mathematics sub-score recommends. To register for the exam, the Accuplacer Test Request form needs to be completed which is located on the Math Lab website. Additional testing information is sent upon completing this form. Calculators are not allowed on this test. 

If you have specific questions about the test, email mathlab@spalding.edu.

The TEAS exam is part of the criteria used to determine admittance into the nursing program here at Spalding University. This is a computerized test. The math portion of the TEAS exam has 34 questions that covers material related to numbers, algebra, measurement, and data. A basic calculator will be provided. This portion of the exam is 54 minutes. You may retake the exam once if not successful. Prior review of material is strongly suggested.
