Scoring
The test is divided into two sections. Both sections include material from our Algebra II and
Geometry products. Section 1 includes problems 1 15 and is the simpler part of the test.
Section 2 includes problems 16 30 and is the more difficult part of the test.
The student is probably ready for Pre-Calculus if he/she makes the following scores on the two
sections.
10 or more correct on Section 1 (problems 1 15)
and 8 or more correct on Section 2 (problems 16 30)
If the students score falls below this level, then some remedial work in Geometry and Algebra 2
might be necessary.
