<p>Hello, I have question I would like to ask regarding the CLEP pre-calc test. I wanted to take this exam because I feel that I can get at least a 50 or better on it. The college I plan on going to, LCC or Lansing Community College will grant credit precalc II & placement in Calc I if I score a 50 or better on the exam. My plan is to double major in Physics & Chemistry, starting at LCC then transferring to Michigan State. Currently, I am excelling in Precalc right now (I'm a senior about to graduate in two months). Is there anyone here who has taken this exam before? If so, how hard is it? From what I've heard, the test mainly examines on Functions, Trigonometry & some Analytic Geometry (Conics sections). I was going to take this test in about a month, on Friday April 13th to be exact. Am I on the right track as to how I am studying? I have been reviewing some algebra 2 material like absolute values, quadratic functions & radical equations as well as some conic sections by doing practice problems. What Else should I expect or anticipate for this exam? Wish me luck when I take the exam soon! :)</p>
<p>If you have not checked out the CLEP site regarding the details of the Precalculus exam, here is the link ([Precalculus</a> | CLEP](<a href=“http://clep.collegeboard.org/exam/precalculus]Precalculus”>Precalculus – CLEP | College Board)). I have not taken any of the exams, but I am a test proctor so I am more familiar with the exam procedure.</p>
<p>If you google CLEP and precalculus, you should find quite a number of sites that will provide study material suggestions and/or practice exams. CLEP offers a practice exam as a download for $10 (you should see it on CLEP’s site under the link for “practice materials”), but there are also other companies that offer study materials/practice exams (REA and Peterson are the two most mentioned). I have found that the line of Peterson CLEP practice exams are available for free through some public library systems (those who have a subscription to Gale Center’s Teaching & Education Reference Center database). You might want to do some checking (again, use google!).</p>
