What is WAMAP?

WAMAP is computerized, requiring only very basic computer skills, such as the use of a mouse.

There is no time limit. You will first need to create an account in WAMAP to practice, prepare and take a math test.  Click here for sign-up and online practice instructions.

All students can choose whether to start in Test 1 or Test 2. The student cannot use a calculator for Test 1. Based on recent math experience some students are able to start in Test 3.  An Entry Advisor can help to determine if you meet the requirements for starting with Test 3.

There are four tests altogether, and although most students only need to take one test, sometimes it may be two. Your program of study will determine which math courses are needed and which test(s) you will take.

Students can retake WAMAP twice per quarter.  For retake purposes, we define quarters as the week after the end of one quarter through finals week of the next quarter.
