EAP Placement Test
By University policy, most international students - undergraduate or graduate - must take the EAP Placement Test prior to registering for classes, before the start of their first semester on campus, even if they completed the TOEFL test. Students’ letter of admission from the Office of International Affairs will indicate if they are required to take this test.
- Understand EAP test results Learn why your child should participate in EAP, how you can help prepare them for the EAP and beyond, and what EAP test results mean for your child.
- Starting in 2015, the EAP test is embedded in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) 11th-grade English Language Arts/Literacy and mathematics. These tests are part of California’s public school testing and accountability system and are required of all grade 11 students.
- This site is maintained by Mainstream Engineering Corporation and is not associated with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA maintains its own web site that includes information about both section 608 and section 609 certification. Mainstream is certified by the EPA to provide both 608 and 609 certification.
Currently, any proposed course of action is accepted to pass the EAP test; however, it is obvious that some actions will are better than others. There are also certain actions which are predictably harmful. We also recognize that actions to be taken in the affected areas that experience.
Some students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents but are not proficient (or native-like) users of English may also need EAP courses. Undergraduate students in this category should follow the recommendations from this Guided Self-Placement. Graduate students in this category should speak to their advisor or the EAP Program about enrolling into an EAP course. Both undergraduate and graduate students may elect to take EAP courses even if they are not required to.
Because the EAP Placement Test is a placement test used to accurately determine English language skill level, students do not need to 'prepare' for it. The scores are used to assign EAP classes that best meet students’ academic needs that will provide favorable English experiences necessary for a successful career at IUPUI and beyond.
The courses prescribed based on the students’ results on the EAP Placement Test are required. Not completing the EAP requirement may result in delays in graduation.
NOTE for graduate students and advisers: Graduate students who are being considered for a teaching role (tutor, lab assistant, teaching assistant, course instructor) are also required by university policy to take the SPEAK test and complete any required supplemental EAP courses recommended based on that test. The Graduate Office monitors compliance with the campus policy. More details about the SPEAK test can be found here.
After students have taken the EAP, they will receive their results in their CAASPP Student Reports, which are sent to student's home.

What math class will meet my Conditionally Ready Status?
As a conditionally ready student, you can meet the ELM Requirement by taking an approved year-long math course in your senior year and earning a grade of “C-” or better(effective for Fall 2018 freshmen.) The following high school courses have been approved:
- Trigonometry and Math Analysis
- Pre-Calculus
- Calculus
- AP Calculus AB
- AP Calculus BC
- AP Statistics
- AP Physics
Any other year-long high school math course with Algebra 2 or Integrated Math III as a prerequisite is approved.
