<p>I just got rejected from Cal Poly SLO and MIT. After I graduate from high school, I'm planning to work and self-study the college courses I want and take these tests at a certain college. Can you please suggest me a good college that I can take these tests? I don't want to take it in a community college because the level of the courses taught by community colleges are lower than other colleges. </p>
<p>What are you even saying? </p>
<p>I just want to take some tests like Calculus 3, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra to prove that I know them.</p>
<p>Contact the math departments at the college/university that you are interested in, and ask if they offer placement exams for their program. Usually each institution sets up its own exams, so there may not be any standard exams available at all.</p>
<p>Then where can I get the resources of lots of practice problems for advanced maths? Barnes and Nobles? Isn’t that store only sells prep books for academics? Do they also sell college math textbooks?</p>
<p>If you want to teach yourself higher math, you should find out which textbooks are used in those courses at a couple of colleges and universities. Then either pick them up at a university bookstore, or order them online. And yes, Barnes & Noble can special order any book that you want.</p>
<p>Are you saying that you’re not going to attend any college and re-apply to MIT and Cal Poly SLO after self-studying higher-level math on your own? You can definitely study but I’m not sure there are exams for you to prove what you know at this level, outside of a college. And if you enroll in college, you’re no longer a freshman applicant (at least for SLO -check with MIT). </p>
<p>I didn’t enroll at any college right now. I don’t plan to reapply to those schools. </p>
<p>Look at Khan Academy and the MIT’s online courses, plus Coursera (Coursera can deliver a certificate if you did all the work).</p>
<p>Okay, thanks.</p>
