Answers to the CSB/SJU Calculus Readiness Exam
The answer to each question is given, followed by the related mathematical topic(s) or concept(s). This can help you plan a program of review in order to be better prepared to succeed in a calculus course. The Math Skills Center has books, computer tutorials, videotaped lessons, and a friendly staff to help you.
If your score on this exam is 13 or more, it is recommended that you take MATH 119 (Calculus I) or MATH 123 (Essential Calculus).
If your score on this exam is 10-12, you may want to consider taking MATH 115 (Pre-Calculus Mathematics) for a review of algebra, trigonometry, functions, and logarithms.
If your score on this exam is 9 or less, it is recommended that you undertake a thorough algebra review before entering a pre-calculus course.
