Prerequisite for MAE 3811:
A passing grade on the MAE 3811 Prerequisite Exam in the semester
prior to the one in which the course is to be taken (for these
purposes, spring is considered the prior semester for summer A, summer
B, and fall). This exam will be administered twice during the fall
semester and twice during the spring semester. The two administrations
will be a few days apart, generally before or around the start of
Advance Registration. Students who fail the exam the first time it is
administered will be informed so that they may take the exam the
second time it is administered that semester. A student who takes the
exam only the second time it is administered will have only
that one opportunity to pass the exam; a failing grade will prevent
the student from being allowed to register for next semester's course.
Passing grades on this exam will not carry over from one semester
to another. If you pass the exam for next semester's MAE 3811, but
do not take the course that semester, you will have to retake the
exam before being allowed to take the course in a later semester.
Since spring counts as the prior semester both for summer classes and
fall classes, this means that to take MAE 3811 in summer or fall,
you have to pass the exam in the spring; to take MAE 3811 in the
spring, you have to pass the exam in the fall.
You are encouraged to practice with a
sample test
(and check the solution).
Note that no calculators are
allowed for this test.
