  1. Enroll in IESL Level F classes
  2. Attend a mandatory transition orientation session
  3. Sign up for a MATH placement test
    1. Go to the MATH placement test website
    2. Login using your L Number and birthday

    6. Select the appointment date and time
    7. Choose the "Placement Test/Retest-Math" again
    8. Click "Continue"
    9. Review appointment information (testing location: Building 1, Room 116)
