<p>Do I have to sit down for 90 minutes straight for the Math placement test or can it be broken into parts?</p>
<p>I just don't want to start doing it, then have to leave!</p>
<p>It MUST be able to be broken into parts, because my daughter has only done it parts at a time and still isn't done</p>
<p>Yes, you can take it in parts.</p>
<p>I'm curious (since none of this existed BITD). What kind of problems are presented in this test? Algebra, Trig, Geometry? Do they go into Calculus at all?</p>
<p>Is it more of a "real" test, or is it more SAT-like?</p>
<p>No....no calculus. It was four sections. It was like factoring, equations, geometry, exponents, some geometry, and some trig. Pretty much all pre-calc and below. I found myself doing a lot more calculations on paper than on the SAT.</p>
<p>It tests algebra, trig, geometry, and some pre-calc (each are different parts and can be taken independently). Its been about a month since I took it so I can't remember perfectly, but for pre-calc, I thought I remembered some basic taking derivatives and integrals.</p>
<p>To answer your question Zaphod, its more of a "real" test, multiple choice however.</p>
<p>No calculator use makes it a bit more difficult, though...well, you work slower and thus time becomes more of an issue. I was pretty scared after taking the practice test, but the actual tests were no big deal, in my opinion...any other thoughts?</p>
<p>that was not a hard test and considering I have not taken a math class in 4 years it should be easy for all of you too.</p>
<p>Yeah the practice test (the timed one) was more difficult in my opinion. It was more than a relief taking the real test. If I had to take pre-calc after just finishing bc calc, let's just say it would suck.</p>
