Pre-tests - Take the Pre-test so you become familiar with what is covered in the chapter. Math concepts that you are strong in are removed from the Chapter Assignments reducing the number of homework problems you are assigned. Tests are computer based and completed at home or on a public computer. Pre-tests have a time limit of 60 minutes. Tests will be given using MyMathLab, so you will need to sign-in to MyMathLab.

                • You must take the pre-test in order to begin the homework. No minimum score is required, but objectives that you know will be dropped from the homework assignments.

                • You can skip the pre-test by not answering any of the questions. Skipping the pre-test means that the chapter assignments will not modified based on your knowledge of the content.
