Prerequisites for Math for Business and Economics (MATH 1324)

You can satisfy the prerequisites for this course in one of three ways:

(1)  A grade of C or better in
       (a) Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390) from ACC, or
       (b) Intermediate Algebra (or equivalent) from another institution and the consent of the instructor or an advisor
(2)  A high enough score on TASP, SAT, or ACT math tests, plus a passing grade (this usually means a C or better) in High School Algebra II.
        TASP:  270+
        SAT:   570+
        ACT:  21+
(3)  A high enough score on the COMPASS, CPT, or ASSET math placement tests:
        COMPASS (algebra):  69+
        CPT (elementary algebra):  90+
        CPT (college math): 40+
        ASSET (intermediate algebra): 43+

Some lower scores on the above tests will also qualify, if certain other conditions are met:
 
Condition:  the student has passed a full semester of high school Elementary Analysis, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, or equivalent courses.
Need scores:

Questions:

  1. Do you have extra study time available this semester in case you need more review than you thought? (More than the usual three hours for every hour in class that is necessary for most math courses.) Your advisor will review with you the number of hours per week you're working, how many courses you're planning to take, and any other time commitments.
  2. Did you complete Algebra II or Intermediate Algebra within the last 18 months?
  3. Did you make an A or B in Algebra II or Intermediate Algebra?
  4. Do you feel confident of your mathematical skills and your test-taking skills?
  5. Do you plan to enroll in an ACC mathematics lab to accompany your course?
  6. Do you have someone available to help you with your questions about your math course several times each week?
  7. Have you worked through the problems on the Prerequisite Review Sheet for this course?
