*SAT cut scores were derived from the Understanding SAT Scores (2016) document published by College Board. Recommended placement into MATH 105 is determined with an SAT score at the 50th percentile of the nationally representative sample of students in 11th and 12th grades. MATH 105 is intended to serve average high school graduates as well as students in need of mathematics remediation. ACT scores were derived from SAT scores.
