I am an international student and I have no idea how to prepare for the math placement test. Can anyone tell me what the syllabus is? Is it like the SAT 1? do we have calculus on the test? It would be very helpful if you could list the topics I need to prepare.

Its actually pre calc oriented

If you know trig functions, FOIL, imaginary #s, and radian values, you will do exceedingly well

There is also geometry, which includes arcs in circles and triangle side measurements

Algebra is another component of the exam too

It's nothing to worry about. The first section is simple algebra, and the second is just trig functions. I only had one problem that even resembled the sneaky tricks collegeboard pulls on their tests. If you've completed trig, you should be able to get a near-perfect score pretty easily.
