Math Placement Exam

what should I expect from this exam? Because math is not my strong suite and I’m a history education major which is teaching. So what other math courses are offered inside of Calculus because I know I will not need indepth math courses for my major.

Not sure about MSU, but I think they give you some kind of online quiz and can tell what your math level is from that. Some courses may be Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus. Not sure what you would need for your major.
here is a list of the math courses offered Fall 2015. http://www.reg.msu.edu/Courses/Request.aspx?Term=1154&SubjectCode=MTH

They have some math courses listed in the course catalog for teachers. You would need to ask your advisor about this, that’s why they usually do the placement tests before advising and scheduling classes.
