Math and Writing Placement

New to Kirkwood? Depending on the program or Program Area you applied to, fulfilling the placement process may or may not be required. Find info specific to your program or Program Area here.

Math Placement

Math Multi-Measure Placement
All students will complete the Math Multi-Measure Placement (MMP) survey.  To access the survey, log into MyHub. 

ALEKS Placement Test
Depending on your program or Program Area, you may also need to take the ALEKS Math Placement Test.  Please check with your advisor or program department to find out if ALEKS is required for you.

The ALEKS Math Placement Test is a proctored exam. To take the test, you’ll need to schedule an appointment using the “Schedule an Appointment” link above. If you’re not able to take the exam at the Main Campus Test Center or the Coralville Test Center, you can schedule an appointment at one of the other Kirkwood locations or arrange to test at a non-Kirkwood location. Information on testing at Kirkwood and non-Kirkwood locations can be found here.

Want to take a practice test? You have the option to complete one free unproctored ALEKS practice test by accessing the ALEKS placement test on MyHub. 

Writing Placement

Guided Writing Placement
