MDPT (precal) test?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly Pomona

I’m an engineer major so they’re requiring me to take it. I have no clue on it besides for the fact that it starts at 11 on May 9th (for me).

If anyone is familiar or has taken it, would you mind telling me about it…

how long does it take?
Can we use calculators?
Are the reviews on the CPP website exactly the same as the actual test? (Just different numbers)?
Are the problems similar?

I’m hoping that if I know how to do all of them on there I should be fine.

I took precal a few years ago…almost three years ago actually. So I definitely forgot a lot of it. Precal was actually my hardest class…for some reason it was harder than calculus at the time.

I’m so worried because I don’t want to end up being behind on math when I start, especially when I’m supposed to be majoring in engineering… What kind of engineer sucks at math like that…yikes.

Might be late to reply, but I am taking the same test tomorrow also… I am not sure how long is the test either. But for sure, you can’t use calculators…

I really need to start studying for this test like right now. I"m an electrical engineer, but my highest level of math is algebra 2. I’m think I’m going to take the one on the morning of orientation day. So if I understand that correctly, I take it on the day I sign up for orientation, right? It’s telling me that or June 20. But I’d rather wait as long as possible so I can properly self-teach myself what I need to know.
