<p>Ok so I have my orientation session later this week, and from what I hear (I called UW) you have to take a math placement test the morning before your actual session begins in order to sign up for classes...soooo has anyone began studying for this test or has anybody already taken this test??? I asked the operator if there was an advanced test and a general test but she said there was only one... but I believe i read somewhere that there was more than one test... anybody know for sure?????</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>
