32 720 Math 147 Honors Calculus I
Adjustments to Placement:
1. AP credits in Math or Dual Enrollment credits in Math trump the ACT Math/SAT Math placements.
2. Take the equivalent of Math 130 at a local community college or at UT in the summer prior to classes
starting in the Fall.
3. Take an online placement test through the Math Department website (www.math.utk.edu). There will
be two tests, one for attaining Math 130 (Level 3) and one for attaining Math 141 (Level 4). Engineering
students take the test for Math 141. The test maybe repeated 3 times. Use the online remediation
system to review, and then (re)take the placement test. The system is adaptive to the math elements
needed for success.
