Unfortunately, these exams tend to place students in a lower-level or remedial course. As a result, additional expenses are incurred; degree programs are extended; and scholarships, awards, and external funding are less likely. Helping Student Prepare for College Mathematics Placement Tests: A Guide for Teachers and Parents includes two sample placement tests, a guide that shows what entry course a student will be assigned with a given score, and explanations on material that students might have forgotten or never quite understood. This guide is sure to help students excel!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an invaluable resource to both students and teachers. It is nice for students to go to a resource and find numerous examples of a topic in a condensed and easy-to-read format. Teachers use it for reinforcement and further example problems. -- Tom Johnson, Mandan High School, Mandan, ND\u003cbr\u003eTo save time and money, students often use test-preparation materials to prepare for exams such as the ACT and the SAT. However, taking an unneeded class costs a much greater amount of both time and money. Unfortunately, the only preparation materials that I had to offer students desiring to test into a higher mathematics course were a vague study guide with ten sample questions and a shelf full of textbooks to sift through. Finally, I can refer students to a relevant, reliable, and comprehensible guide. -- Heather Kahler, developmental mathematics instructor, University of Wisconsin--Superior\u003cbr\u003eThis is a fantastic tool for every parent or teacher who wants to maximize a student's demonstration of mathematics skills on a college placement exam. This guide assists students in utilizing and demonstrating their mathematical skills independent of electronic tools. -- Beth Esselstrom, director, student supportive services, University of Minnesota, Duluth\u003cbr\u003eI am a mathematics teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience. Over and over students come to me and ask me for materials to use to study for mathematics placement tests. I have none to give them, nor do I have any reference for the students. This book is the answer! -- Sue A.
