The Quantitative Proficiency Test assesses your mathematical and statistical proficiency as well as fundamentals in Python programming and data structures to help us determine your eligibility for admission to the Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MScFE) program.
The minimum passing grade for the test is 75%. It must be completed in one sitting with up to a total of two (2) hours to finish. You have a maximum of two (2) attempts to complete the test. If you do not pass the test on your second attempt, WQU will no longer be able to consider your application.
The test consists of 60 questions covering advanced algebra, linear algebra, differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, probability, and statistics. A portion of the test is dedicated to measuring fundamental knowledge of Python programming and Python data structures.
Before you attempt the test, we strongly encourage you to test your knowledge with our sample questions and consider these highly recommended (and free!) online resources we have curated to help you prepare.
