Maths Readiness Survey (MRS)

We recognise that students enter UTS with varying backgrounds in mathematics. The Maths Readiness Survey is designed to help commencing undergraduate Computing Science, Engineering and Science students select the first-year mathematics subject most appropriate to their background.

Completion of the MRS is mandatory for Engineering & IT and Science students enrolling in 33130 Mathematics 1.

How to take the MRS

  1. In the week before the MRS testing season commences you will receive an email from the MRS coordinator. 
  2. The email will provide links to the MRS and practice tests. 
  3. There is nothing on your timetable to view concerning the MRS. 
  4. Make sure that you have activated and read your UTS student email, as the MRS runs BEFORE the upcoming Session. 

MRS Practice

The MRS practice is available on the MRS Canvas website. If you are enrolled in 33130 then it is available to you in the Modules section.
