<p>there are two math placement exams</p>
<p>1- an algebra placement exam required if you didn’t score 600 or above on SAT math
2- a trig placement exam if you want to take calculus</p>
<p>if you are an engineering student you need to take both regardless of SAT score</p>

<p>if you aren’t prepared and dont pass algebra you will be required to take it- this happened to one of my D’s friends who didn’t take it seriously so now she has to take college algebra at night most of the other students are football players…so my advice is brush up on your algebra and take it seriously!</p>
