Re-Taking Assesment Test

Published

Hi all!

Happy new year!

I have a question have any of you "skipped" a class by retaking the assessment test? When I took the test it placed me in college algebra, so I was going to take that class this semester but I had to drop it to take the Pre-VN course (JIC) so I'm thinking about studying on the side to see if I could test out of that class and just move on to the next class.

What do you think?

Done it?

Yes, I am assuming you mean "placement test". Yes, yes. I am an older student. Okay, I am old and already took college algebra about 26 years ago. I bought an Idiot's Guide to Algebra and studied for 6 weeks before taking the placement test. Passed the college algebra portion and was placed above the required level of math. I enjoy math but didn't want the extra time and expense of the class, book, and graphing calculator.

If you can test out of algebra, I'd say, "go for it!"

I think they call it "CLEP" which is the official test that allows you credit for a class without actually having to take it.

If you're good at algebra and think you can study and test out.. GO FOR IT!!

mjmoon: Well I wasn't originally thinking to clep out, but that is a great idea if I get improved GPA from that. I was only planning to study to take the admission/assessment/placement exam again to jump into a higher math. I'm going to look into if I get a grade going the clep way, or what the benefits of "clepping" would be, that is if the school accepts it.
