Getting out of the math diagnostic

I agree with Oasis; the math diagnostic is nothing to be scared of, and I can’t think of any decent reason why someone would want to dodge taking it other than laziness. If it is laziness (which isn’t what it sounds like from your post), I’d suggest going, working through the test as quickly and carelessly as you feel like, and leaving; that’s what I did, and what a lot of my friends did. It’s a meaningless test, but your adviser might be a little annoyed/think a little less of you if you just don’t show up.
