Not only should you be excited about your future at Pitt, but you probably also have lots of questions about your next steps and what your schedule will look like this Fall.

Freshman Placement Exam

First of all, placement exams are no cause for panic! These tests are simply a tool your advisor will use to determine how to place you in appropriate classes. Your success is important to us, and that means registering you for classes in which you will have every opportunity to earn an "A."

Please visit the PittStart Placement Exam page for more information.
