Practice Tests

Our math placements tests are timed, and, once you start, you can pause the test, but you can't start over. We recommend reading about what to expect ahead of time and taking at least one practice test.

Practice Tests

These practice tests, as well as our testing system, were originally created at Texas A&M University for the College Ready Texas program.

The practice tests below are very much like the actual test, except there are no multiple choice answers. A link to the problem solutions is given with links to obtain more information on the topic.

The WebAlg course is an online resource for mathematics materials written at the college entry level. They cover all the basic mathematics skills need in College Algebra and most of those in Pre-Calculus.

More information on the Mathematics Placement Tests is available here [pdf].
