My math placement test was so great, I was able to enter directly into my college class without taking the test a second time. I am so grateful. The elements of the course that were most helpful for me were radicals, addition of polynomials, measurements (a lot of questions here), inequalities, and word problems. Again thank you so much, my twin brother is about to subscribe because he also has a math placement test very soon. I told him about this, but he did not believe me. Now, the results have spoken, and he wants to take the course too.Stephanie Teta - January 2024
Helped me complete a placement test to land in the class I need. The videos were super clear. They showed EVERY step, which had been a problem I was encountering with other learning sites. The instructions were well paced and easy to follow. Also, it gave me enough questions to actually practice the concept I just learned. Being able to practice over and over again, with fresh questions, on the test at the end of each segment was the best part. I'll use it again down the line.Jonathan Reynolds - January 2024
This program helped me pass my placement exam to enroll into college classes! The instructors broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand. Thanks for the great program.Lee Anderson - December 2023
Program was so helpful! And passed my placement test!Cora McVay - August 2023
Completely helpful. Placed out of math classes for college.Tracy Wroblewski - June 2023
The placement test went well. The most helpful element in the course was the balance between keeping the lessons short enough not to lose interest, but still having enough explanatory examples to thoroughly understand the coursework before moving on. MathHelp has struck an impressive balance in this regard.Markus Van Zyl - June 2023
I ended up placing into precalc 2 or business calculus. I was only trying to place into math 130 (statistics) and placed 2 or 3 classes ahead so the test went well. I really appreciated the course.Sapphire Whelan - May 2023
First of all, the order in which your course is structured—lessons, practise exercises, tests, and finally reviews—helped me grasp and assess how well I'm learning a certain topic. This increased my self-assurance while simultaneously addressing my weak areas. Everything is flawless, and I truly appreciate how well everything is laid up. I'm grateful to the entire team who worked on this course for helping me perform well on the math placement test for my college. My test went well; I received a 267/300, and I'm thankful.Atif Baig - February 2023
I passed the math placement exam with 94%. Thanks for educating all math strategies in a simple way. Very useful course for me.Ramya Sundaram - January 2023
This program was instrumental as it helped me to delve back into math after being away from it for so long and helped me to realize that I'm a lot better at math than I ever thought I was.Jonathan Murphy - October 2022
It was beneficial! Not only does this prepare you for the placement test, but it prepares you for mathematics as a subject in general. This is the best math course money can buy. I was initially skeptical, but I am glad I tried it. I got 68/75 for my math placement score.Evita Nwachukwu - September 2022
It did wonders! I managed to completely ace the math placement exam. I was at first skeptical of online math courses, but this one definitely outperformed all the other options there could be in the internet.Rosslein Pebe - August 2022
The placement test course was very helpful. Your videos are to the point and easy to follow. Today I passed my math placement test (the same one I failed before). The refresher on your site worked like magic, thanks.Karan Punia - July 2022
Using this program I was able to place into the class I needed to place into for my degree.Jason Reese - July 2022
The entire thing was helpful. Being able to see everything gave me confidence in what to expect on my placement test. The videos, and having the ability to check the work on things I got incorrect were probably the most helpful. Honestly can’t think of a thing to improve. Thank you.Beatrice Hernandez - May 2022
I needed to pass some placement exams and I passed all of them thanks to this program. Thank you!Kenneth Rodriguez - May 2022

This was very helpful for my ASU Math Placement test!Sommer Smith - March 2022
My placement test went very well. I didn’t study at all for the test the first time and I did terrible on it. Then I saw good reviews for mathhelp.com so I went through every lesson in your placement test prep program and I tested into the highest math.Timothy Brimmer - August 2021

What is the Placement Test?
Placement testing is a practice that many colleges and universities use to assess college readiness and determine which classes a student should initially take. Since most two-year colleges have open, non-competitive admissions policies, many students are admitted without college-level academic qualifications. Placement tests assess abilities in English, mathematics and reading; they may also be used in other disciplines such as foreign languages, computer and internet technologies, health and natural sciences. The goal is to offer low-scoring students remedial coursework to prepare them for regular coursework. Less-prepared students are placed into various remedial situations, from adult basic education through various levels of developmental college courses.
Many students do not understand the high-stakes nature of placement testing. Lack of preparation is also cited as a problem. According to a study by Rosenbaum, Schuetz and Foran, roughly three quarters of students surveyed say that they did not prepare for their placement tests.
Once students receive their placement, they either may or must begin taking developmental classes as prerequisites to credit-bearing college level classes that count toward a degree. Most students are unaware that developmental courses do not count toward a degree.
