Due to recent events, the Spring 2026 APMA bridgework exam is cancelled. If you would like to prepare yourself for APMA 365 and/or 1000-level APMA classes, feel free to check out the study resources below. The next bridgework exam will take place at the beginning of Fall 2026.

  • What is the Bridgework Exam? The APMA 355/1655 bridgework exam is a 50 minute exam that tests you on the APMA 355/1655 material that was not covered in APMA 350/1650, with emphasis on proof techniques.

  • Who needs to take it? You are required to take this exam if you are currently taking APMA 350/1650 and would like to use 350/1655 to fulfill your concentration requirements (class of 2029 or later) and to sign up for courses that require APMA 355/1655 (class of 2028 or later). If you’re in the class of 2027 or earlier, you are encouraged but not required to take the bridgework exams.
