Most math majors are not at all expected to come in ready to test out of frosh core math. It is perfectly within reason to be a very successful math major without passing out of anything - some of the best math majors don’t at all! As for whether or not your student should pass out of some core math courses, I’d say that really varies depending on the program. Some programs don’t prepare you that well at all, and some do an excellent job. If you want an idea of whether or not it’s worth it, check this out: http://www.math.hmc.edu/placement/ and try the sample placement tests. If you can do that without too much difficulty, it’s worth getting out.
