Take Placement Tests

Stony Brook University has four placement processes; Math, Writing, Foreign Language, and Chemistry. Most students have to take the Math placement test (this needs to be done before Orientation). Few need to take the Writing Placement test. The Foreign Language test is needed for students from out of state or who did not score high enough on Regents or AP tests. And finally, the Chemistry Placement is for students with some chemistry background looking to waive out of first-semester General Chemistry.

Please click on each of the following to see which placement examinations you will need.
