Review Before Testing

A math review is available for each test online. Reviewing will help you brush up on your math skills before you come in to take the test. Click the links below to go to the review.

• Algebra Readiness Review

You may also purchase a math review packet (of the same material as is online) in our bookstore on either campus for about $2.50.  They are available for each of the test levels: (1) algebra readiness, (2) elementary algebra, (3) intermediate algebra, and (4) pre-calculus.
