Note: This test will cover high school algebra, and if you do not pass it, you should take our non-credit course MAP 103. Please bring ID and a pen and pencil. This test is non-calculator.
The topics for review are: solving equations, factoring, fractional equations, exponents, order of operations, drawing lines, writing the equation of a line, domain, function notation, expansion, and long division.
Here is a routine review selection from the text book to help you.
