Are you thinking about going back to college and need to take a math placement test? Or maybe you just got accepted to your dream college, and still need to take a college math placement test? Do you want to score well for your next math college placement exam, so you don't score into a remedial math course? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this course is made for you. This course has 31 hours of video lecture. It's broken into two sections: practice exams and supplementary videos. There are four practice exams.
