<p>has anyone taken this?
Math</a> Placement Tests
Since i didn't take the AP test for CALC in HS i have to take this test to get into Math 1A :(</p>
<p>are these guidelines safe to follow to do well on this test? what else do i need to know

man i haven't done trig since junior year :|</p>
<p>the test really isn't bad at all. I was pretty bad at math in high school and I placed into calc. That outline is exactly what you should follow. In fact I think those example questions show up on the test. Yeah, there's nothing really tricky about it.</p>
<p>I didn't even take precalc in high school and I placed into calc.</p>
<p>It's not exactly easy since I think you have to get 80% correcct. I took it a couple months back at Mission College and passed it. Just brush up on pre-calc and trig if you've been away from it for awhile.</p>
<p>I also have to take a CAlc readiness test at my school, best way to go about/ or study for it, last math I've taken was 3-4 years ago in High school and that was ALg 2. Any sites that prepare/ teach calc fairly well?</p>
<p>I used this UC Davis math site to prep for my calculus readiness test.
UC</a> Davis Math: Learning Tools</p>
<p>There is a good amount in pre-calc/trig to "brush up" on
Test is being offered friday, just found out today I needed to take it lol
Been taking notes on everything in this pdf

Hopefully I don't need to know too much more</p>
<p>I also took this: <a href="http://www2.etown.edu/math/New/Placement/PracticePreCalculus.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www2.etown.edu/math/New/Placement/PracticePreCalculus.pdf</a>
is this anything similiar to de anza's? cuz this was very easy</p>
<p>Was there any problems needing unit circle or trigonometrically solving for side lengths given 1 side and 1 degree?</p>
<p>BUMP possible test tomorrow ! ^^</p>
<p>I was going to find a math wizz Asian to help me fill in the gap from Algebra to Calc. Most likely give a little cash incentive also. I do not want to take anything less than calc, its like 2-4 semesters just to get to calc at my school.</p>
<p>Wow i took 3 other calculus readiness tests from other schools
and this one wasn't even close to all the material on them
i took notes on the pdf and everything and there was still problems that weren't covered</p>
<p>it was harder than expected, hopefully i got 20/30, will find out soon
gah</p>
<p>Does anybody remember what types of problems were on there? I'm taking it soon. The sample problems suck; there are like three of them on the site...</p>
<p>MDTP</a> Order Form</p>
<p>and there was a bouncing ball question where the ball drops 1/2 way every bounce, how long will it take to get to 0 - i got that wrong :(</p>
<p>^ Whoa, is that the exact test? If it is, I will meet you at De Anza and give you $10. :) Lol.</p>
<p>No the website is not the exact test, but the examples are much better on there. The question I gave you on the ball IS on there though (i dunno if they change forms or not but mine had it and i took it this summer). Unfortunately I only passed into Math 49B, fak, and it was full this summer. If i dont get in Math 49B in the Fall I can say bye to UCLA chances (since I need Math 1A, 1B too) :p</p>
<p>This is my first summer at de anza, and first quarter as I'm gonna be staying here this year to xfer. It's nice for a CC</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. Good luck getting into your class. :)</p>
<p>I took the placement test in May, was interested in placing in Calculus 1A, and got in. If you're goal is to place in Calc 1A, you should focus more on precalculus and word problems. To kmzizzle, I didn't get that bouncing ball question either (I made an "educated" guess). If you have just finished taking any sort of precalculus course, I think you'll have a higher chance of placing in Calc 1A. That isn't to say that the placement test is easy...I'd say it's medium. Don't rely too much on the practice placement tests that you've seen online, because they're too easy in comparison with the actual test.</p>
<p>yeah its bs tho i got 17 and u need 20 to get into 1A
I already took AP Calc with B's both semesters in HS (but didnt take the AP exam) and the last time I had any alg2/precalc was sophomore year :|</p>
<p>If they gave me a straight up Calc AB test, i would have passed with flying colors lol</p>
<p>SO I gotta take Math 49B :(</p>
