How are the Rutgers Placement test?

Specifically for math, I looked at some of the sample questions on the website provided by Rutgers Enrollment Pathway, and they looked pretty easy.

Is the test in actuality harder than the sample questions?

It's the same, or easier in difficulty. Honestly, it saddens me that people can get in to college with low scores on that.

Which test? I took the Math Level 2 test for the School of Engineering, which I thought was pretty easy, although I had forgotten logs. But I did well enough to test into Calculus, which I needed.

math is simple. if you're rusty on logs, read up on a few basic things such as like bases, what happens to exponents when you multiply/divide numbers with like bases... blah.

I took the same level 2 placement test as fabled, by the way.

You should really look over your logs, sin/cos graphs, unit circle, and algebra. My friend got screwed over on logs.

alanavm: not really. you'd just be taking those classes in college, so you would just need to place out of algebra and into precalc, which a lot of people do anyway.
