Note: Given that these are college-level courses, we require that you complete these pretests before going further.
The pre-requisites for Calculus I are Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, or the equivalent.
Pass this short, 10 question pretest with a score of 70% or better and you’ll be ready to enroll in Calculus I!
If you misrepresent your existing math skills, we will not be able to provide you with the calculus experience you deserve.
Welcome to our Philosophy pretest
We recommend that any student who scores a 50% or lower on this quiz consider taking College Writing I to prepare for the course; however, you will be able to enroll in intro to Philosophy regardless of your score.
Please note that this is a reading comprehension test and requires no prior knowledge of philosophy.
