<p>I haven't taken pre-calc for a while and I want to take the trigonometry placement exam in order to take calculus at Pitt. The PittStart site is very vague about the concepts covered...can anybody give me a good idea of how/what I should review?</p>
<p>I think that there is a math tutoring center at Pitt. The people there would probably be able to answer your question.</p>

<p>If it’s like any college you will need to know your identity, law of sin and cosine, and half angle formulas, and memorize the unit circle </p>

<p>Super emphasis on half angle formulas. There were a LOT of questions on it when I took it and I was all “I haven’t seen this in forever!”.</p>
<p>FYI- nothing is stopping you from making an equation sheet on paper to help you prepare for the exam. But you did NOT hear that from me ;)</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice about the half angle formulas. It’s great to get a better idea of what to focus on, especially when I haven’t seen these formulas for a few years</p>
