Do I have to take the CPT |

If you do not have current SAT (440-Math, 420 English) and/or ACT (19 Composite) scores, you must take the CPT before you can register for college credit courses at Florida Memorial University. If you have current SAT and/or ACT scores when you apply for admission, your academic advisor may use those scores to establish course placement. |
