This course is not designed to place you into College Algebra. If you would like to place into College Algebra, we recommend our College Algebra Readiness course.

This program was very helpful! I was able to refresh on my math for a college placement test after not taking any math classes since high school (over 10 years ago). I placed into MTH 095 (intermediate algebra) and am very pleased with that. Thank you!Madison Ausborn - July 2025
