Placement Tests?

I think I’ll do fine on the algebra placement test. I heard it was easy? Or was that a lie?

</p>

<p>It’s easy. If you can do simple “Solve for X” equations and know y = mx + b you will be fine.</p>

What topics should I brush up on for the trigonometry test? Was the trig test hard? How long did it take?

</p>

<p>IIRC the test is timed at 20 minutes. Definitely go over Sin/Cos/Tan functions as well as the half-angle and double-angle formulas. I think it is 15 questions total. </p>

<p>You need to do relatively well on the test, but if you don’t, it probably does not matter TOO much if you have a good math background from HS to back you up.</p>

Would Calc 1 at Pitt be similar to AP AB Calc?

</p>

<p>AB Calc is Calc 1, yes.</p>
