Helping you map your way to success in math

The Early Assessment Program (EAP)

For high school students, the Early Assessment Program (EAP) offers qualifying 11th graders a way to see if they have already met the CSU ELM Requirement.

Qualifying students are those taking Algebra 2 or higher in 11th grade, and who take the California Standards Tests (CST) for either Algebra 2 or Summative Mathematics. To participate in the EAP, you simply complete the 15 additional test items on the CST that are marked with the CSU logo.

Your test results, along with your EAP Math Status, will be reported to you in an Award Letter from your high school. In the letter, your EAP Math Status will be identified as either Exempt, Conditionally Exempt, Non-Exempt, or Incomplete. It is important that you save your Award Letter as you may need it to verify your EAP Math Status if admitted to the CSU.
