Obtaining Appropriate Placement and Credit in Mathematics

Every entering student — whether they intend to take any mathematics or not — receives a math placement. You should know your placement, its significance, as well as your options to change it.
Obtaining an appropriate math placement concerns not only those who plan on taking more math or those who want credit for material already mastered; it is equally important to those who think they will never need or take any more mathematics.
Often, students who have taken some calculus in high school arrive with no plans to take math, and then later decide to add a minor which has a calculus prerequisite, and because they have not secured an accurate placement upon matriculation, are forced to rearrange their crowded academic schedules to accommodate the requirement.

While every student receives a default placement, advanced placement and credit can be achieved in many ways including standardized AP, IB-HL, and British-based A-level exams, as well as (locally written) placement exams which you can take online over the summer.
Local placement exams are available online to matriculated students starting in early August, and are taken only by those whose have either not taken a standardized placement exam, or wish to improve their current (default) placement. Placements exams must be taken by noon on September 8, 2021 to ensure correct placement before enrolling in fall-term classes. You will receive an email in July/August providing more details.
Since you are allowed to take a placement exam only once, you are strongly urged to read the relevant parts of this and related web pages.

The Dartmouth Mathematics Placement System will:

allow you to determine the appropriate starting point in mathematics (should you choose to take math at Dartmouth),
allow you to gain credit and/or advanced placement for mathematics you mastered before coming to Dartmouth,
introduce you to the courses at Dartmouth and allow you to see how your background dovetails with Dartmouth's courses,
provide extensive review material to allow you to prepare for any placement tests you choose to take.

I have taken a standardized placement test and know my score. What is my default placement?

What placement/credit exams are available to take? Answer
I have taken both AB and BC calculus, but have credit for neither. Which placement/credit exams should I take? Answer
I have taken a math course at another college or university. How can I get credit for these courses? Answer
Where and when should I take a math placement/credit test? Answer
When and where can I find out my official placement? Answer
Is there any risk to my current placement by doing poorly on a local placement/credit exam? None! You can never lose placement.
How can I determine if I should take a math placement/credit test, and if so which one? Answer
I have reported AP/IB/A-level credit information to the Registrar's office. Now what? Answer
I did poorly on my AP exam. Do I have any options? Answer
I took calculus and/or statistics before coming to Dartmouth, but did not take any AP exams. Can I get credit? Answer
Do these placement credits count towards graduation? Answer
I took math courses beyond calculus like linear algebra, differential equations or number theory. What can I do? Answer

Video tutorials for all levels of calculus from Khan Academy are available on the Core Calculus Courses web page.
Practice exams from Math 3, 8, 11/13 (Multivariable Calclus).
Precalculus review material.
For more advanced courses such as linear algebra (Math 22), differential equations (Math 23) or elementary number theory (Math 25), refer to the archive of course web pages to see a typical syllabus. In some terms, practice midterms and finals may have been posted, but generally such resourses are restricted to students on campus.

You should go to the Canvas exam site only when you are ready to take the appropriate placement/credit exam, and have the time available. Math 1, 3, 8 exams are 60 minutes long; Multivariable Calculus (Math 11/13), Linear Algebra (Math 22), Differential Equations (Math 23), and Number Theory (Math 25) are 90 minutes long.
You should also take the exams from a desktop or laptop computer. A phone or tablet is likely to cause problems.
You would be wise to use a cross-platform browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to interact with the exams on Canvas. Safari, in particular, has been known to cause problems when viewing the exam.
The exam pages are by Dartmouth class:
