Do I need to take placement tests during orientation?

<p>Hi I'm a transfer student for 2014 fall semester.
I was looking for what to bring for orientation, and it says I need to bring No.2 pencils for tests.
But I'm not sure what tests they are referring to.
Does everyone have to take them?</p>

<p>Not everyone. The most common reasons people take placement tests are either CNS Math ALEKS assessment during orientation or getting credit for a class you already have knowledge of. </p>

<p>If you’re curious, you could email UT’s Center for Teaching and Learning/Student Testing Services for more information. </p>
