<p>i just took the math placement, got an 80%...
does anyone know what kind of math this will place me in?
im hoping to place into calc.
and i was looking at the pages after taking the exam,
and it says i already have hw points for some math class w/instructor gavin.. something?</p>
<p>I don't think the math placement distinctly places you in one math class or not, it is simply a gauge for your academic advisor; you will probably end up taking whatever you want anyways. I will tell you that the purpose of the test is to see how prepared you are for calculus, and 80% tells me that you're pretty well-prepared, so yes I think you will place into calc. I got a 44/45 (Their answer was actually wrong on one question so I e-mailed them and they fixed it) but I'm going to be a math major so I guess that's expected or whatever. I'm sure you'll be fine. As for the homework points...I don't know man, I've never heard of that before. Sounds cool though.</p>
<p>Hey chibearsfan, how did you know what you/they got wrong on the test? I thought it was like "Here's your score. Click here to get out."</p>
<p>I got a 42/45 and want to know what kind of stupid mistakes I made. But the test was more basic than I thought it would be. I just took this test now, so I'm assuming they fixed the test like you said.</p>
<p>Yeah they fixed it a while ago. When you were done there was a button or something that you could click to go back and see which question(s) you got wrong and what the actual answer was. I did it and realized their answer was wrong so i was like, that ain't right. it's all gravy now though. Congrats on the 40+.</p>
<p>I just took my test today. Was pretty easy but I was alittle rusty since at my high school we had accelerated block schedule and hadn't been in a math class since December. Got a 37/45 82.22%. Wish I would have done better. Oh well. Just hoping that I don't get placed in Calc 1 since it sounds like a weeder class.</p>
<p>You'll be placed in calc. 1. I was placed in calc. 1, and I scored worse than you did on the placement exam. However, I took calc. 1 in high school (did well) and haven't covered the stuff that was on the exam in over a year and a half. Extremely rusty... Plus, I'm horrible at algebra. ;)</p>
<p>However, I'm taking stats. 350 instead (My advisor recommended it for me). In my case, that move makes more sense. I'm not a hard core math and science person and am much more interested in social sciences and the humanities. However, if I decide that I don't like it, I have three weeks to drop it and switch into calc. 1. Highly doubt that that will happen though...</p>
<p>43/45 here, I really hate tests where you can't see what you missed. What was the answer to the question that listed 5 equations and asked which ones are functions? I put all but I'm now thinking that the y^2 + x^2 = 25 (or something like that) isn't.</p>
<p>that's the equation for a circle</p>
<p>They must have different versions of tests because I didn't have that one on mine.</p>
<p>sub 40% here, haha. I finished with like 25 questions to go cause I'm so damn slow. But I'm in Calc 1 anyways cause I aced precalc in H.S, and the math advisor tested me on the spot with a few questions and I got em right :)</p>
