Math Placement Test
 
Review Material

The following is a list of resources you may want to use to prepare for the mathematics placement test.  The first three sections of the test are algebraic in nature; the fourth section deals with topics most commonly covered in a precalculus course.  Any algebra text and/or precalculus text should contain the appropriate topics and provide enough review material for the placement test, so it is NOT necessary for you to study these particular texts.  These are simply suggestions.
