<p>Another caution on the “take the communitiy college course and then retake the test” suggestion. At the college I work at, they don’t allow a retake; once you flunk, you’re in the developmental course. No redos.</p>
<p>the one exception is that they offer a free brush up course the summer before classes start. if the student is willing to show up for a shorter course at that time (some are still in HS when they come here in the evenings for the class), they then can retake and be re-placed in math. If they start in the first session, they can keep taking it till they pass or run out of summer. Since most of our students are in commuting distance, it’s a really good opportunity.</p>
