Calc Placement Exam

<p>Anybody taken this yet? How is it?</p>

<p>I took it last summer. The I’d say the test overall is moderately difficult. Most of the questions are not that bad, but the graphing tool on ALEKS is awful, so graphing a trig function is annoying & hard. Also, they tell you to use the online calculator that is provided to you on the test, but I would use your own if you can (I was forced to use the ALEKS calculator because I had lost my TI-84 earlier, and found it long after taking the ALEKS). </p>

<p>You only need a 50% for Business Calc 1 (MAC 2233) and 75% for regular Calc 1 (MAC 2311). I was able to score 78% without my TI-84, but I did poorly on the trigonometry questions. Watch out for those! Also, keep in mind that you can retake the test however many times, but it costs $10 for every attempt. To summarize: just take it ASAP, and don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you very much.</p>
