Math Placem't Tests?

[Yolanda in Mass]

As part of new student orientation, my son has to take an on-line math placement test. Although he's a transfer student, he hasn't had any math in over a year and would like to do some review before taking the test. Can anyone recommend material to do so? Is this anything like the Accuplacer tests given at the community colleges? Thanks!

WHether it is an Accuplacer type test really depends on the school he is transferring into. I know that at my college, the test was significantly harder than the Accuplacer because almost all the students were ready for calculus or higher level course. We had only one math class that was lower than calculus and that was only for humanities majors.

Here is a link to a community college's math review sheets for placement testing. Answers are included.

 

Here's a link to the Accuplacer test site. It has sample questions.

Our library has study materials for the Compass test, which is a placement test our local CC uses. Maybe check your library?

You could also use Khanacademy.com for some review.

He's going into a regular 4-year public university. It's the flagship campus of our university system, if that matters.
