Math Placement Practice Tests

Why prepare?

  • Your score will determine which math classes you can enroll in.
  • You could waste money and time on extra classes that may not count toward your degree or certificate if your score places you into a class that is lower than your actual ability level.
  • Studying and doing your best will help place you into math classes that are at the correct level for you to be successful.
