Calculus Readiness Assessment

What it Measures

The Calculus Readiness Assessment measures students’ knowledge of concepts from Basic Math through Pre-Calculus. It consists of up to 30 questions and must be completed in one 2-hour sitting. It is an open-response assessment (not multiple-choice) that requires students to work out solutions to be entered into the system. Once an answer is submitted, it cannot be changed, so be sure to check your answer carefully before submitting it. No outside resources can be consulted for help. An on-screen calculator is provided if one is needed to complete a particular problem. Otherwise, the use of a calculator is not allowed.

Minimum Required Score

Students can attempt the Calculus Readiness Assessment up to three times. If students do not obtain a score of at least 75 on the first attempt, they must spend at least 5 hours working through the individualized Prep and Learning Modules and wait at least 48 hours before their second attempt. The same applies between the second and third attempts.

Students who do not earn a minimum score of 75 across the three attempts must register in the standard one-semester Pre-Calculus (MATH-1001) course. 

NOTE: There is a process in place to request academic accommodations on the basis of disability. Students must submit a request through the Academic Resource Center’s (ARC) online portal . We recommend beginning this process in June if the exam is to be taken in July. If the student’s accommodation request is approved, the ARC will provide documentation to the student.
