Heading to NOVA?

Don't let remedial math set you back in time and money!

VPT Math Prep, designed by a NOVA instructor, is here to help you prepare for the NOVA math placement test and get ahead of the game.

VPT Math Prep

  • leads you through a self-assessment to see what you need to learn to place into credit-level math,
  • explains the concepts behind NOVA's practice questions, and
  • guides you to (free) sources around the Web for practice.

Update: New NOVA Testing Policy

With NOVA campuses now closed because of COVID-19, the placement test is not being given in proctored form. Instead, an unproctored practice test is being used as a substitute, leaving students more latitude to register in credit-level courses. 


VPT Prep is more relevant now than ever.  VPT Prep's new course, NOVA Math Prep II, includes a practice online practice test with the same kinds of questions you will be asked on the online practice test that will serve as the basis of your placement. For each question, NOVA Math Prep II explains the math and guides you to study materials. This course will be available by June 7.
