Intro to Philosophy Pretest (5 min)
Intro to Philosophy gives you the tools to ask—and answer—life’s most important questions. This pretest doesn't test for philosophical ability, just that students have the reading comprehension skills to succeed in the course.
We recommend that any student who scores a 50% or lower take Intro to Psychology or Intro to Sociology which have no prerequisites.
Congratulations, you passed!
Nice work. You’re ready to take Intro to Philosophy. We can’t wait to see you in class.
