Our math instructors have developed this assessment tool to assist you in determining the most suitable math course to begin with at BTC. Our goal is twofold: to help you avoid unnecessary courses and ensure you start on a path that aligns with your readiness, setting the stage for your success. Your honesty and self-awareness regarding your math proficiency are essential for us to provide the most accurate recommendations.
There are no failing grades associated with this self-assessment. Its purpose is to evaluate your current knowledge and understanding of mathematics. Upon completion, you will receive a personalized recommendation for a math course. Subsequently, you'll have the opportunity to review the assessment results with your College Navigator and make an informed decision about your course selection under their guidance.
Please note that completing the assessment is a prerequisite before you can schedule a meeting with a Navigator.
