ANSWER KEY: The answers to this practice test are given below. Give ourself one point for each question ou answered correctl and zero points for each question ou answered incorrectl. Add up our points for each section: Math Basics, Algebra, and Trigonometr. An average score on Math Basics is between and 9. An average score on Algebra is between 0 and 6 and an average score on Trigonometr is between and. Placement into a remedial level math course is determined solel b our score on the Math Basics section of the test. Therefore, ou would need to score 0 or higher on the Math Basics section to test out of a remedial level math course. Math Basics Algebra Trigonometr. B. D. A. D. D 6. C 7. E 8. C 9. D 0. E. C. A. D.
