worried about placement tests

<p>I have to take a math placement test, and a trigonometry placement test in a few weeks for Pitt. I had a 580 on the math section of the SAT, so I missed the cutoff by only 20 pts.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I am terrible at math, and haven't exactly learned much in the past few months (teacher left for baby, new guy wasn't that great.) I honestly have little to no knowledge of how to do the problems on this test.</p>

<p>How does your score factor in? I assume you'll take lower classes if you do worse, but is there some point where they make you take remedial classes? I'd really like to avoid that.</p>
