o
A student may place
directly into 10524 Calculus I by passing an online placement test offered by
the Department of Mathematics. o
To register for the
placement test, a student must email mathtest@tcu.edu
with the following information: First name, middle initial, last name, TCU ID number The
administrator will respond with instructions on how to take the test. o
Students will have only
one opportunity per semester to take the test. o
The test consists of 25
multiple-choice questions covering Precalculus and Trigonometry. Students will have 1 hour to complete
the test. o
Students may use
calculators, but CAS (Computer Algebra System) calculators such as the TI-89
are not allowed, as they are not allowed in our Calculus classes. o
It is expected that the
student complete the test on his own, without help from others, textbooks,
unapproved technology, or notes.
The purpose of this placement test is to assess whether the student
has sufficient background to succeed
in 10524. Outside help on the
placement test will only prove detrimental to a student who enrolls in a
class for which he is not sufficiently prepared. o
Copies of satisfactory AP
or SAT Subject Test scores must be provided or be on file with the TCU
Registrar in order to use these as prerequisites
to register for MATH 10524.
A student awaiting these scores may choose to take the online
placement test. |
