<p>which placement exams are required for mech. engineering undergrad?</p>

<p>what if a person score very badly on a placement exam ?? and I mean really bad.</p>

<p>None. You just have to get around a 3.2 EAI in FYE to get into Mech. Eng. Then you just have to pass your courses.</p>

<p>ahhh…ok…got it, thank you!</p>

<p>@Seirsly i have come to know that students are required to give ALEKS (spl. error??) math exam</p>

<p>Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. It’s a simple math test/ quiz to analyze your math capabilities. You’ll need a certain score in order to take Calc 1/ 2. Just try your best and accept what it tells you. It’s pretty accurate in measuring your abilities. I think I got like a 95% or something when I did it.</p>

<p>@Seirsly thank you. it would be great if you can have a look at this page <a href=“http://www.purdue.edu/advisors/registration/placement/”>http://www.purdue.edu/advisors/registration/placement/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>do freshmen to engineering need any of the exams listed on the above page. (chemistry test out exams; physics test out exams ??)</p>

<p>once again, ty!!</p>

<p>None of them are required if you want to go through your degree using the recommended plan of study. However, if you are confident in your abilities and would like to skip a course or two, that’s what those exams are for.</p>
