The College-Level Mathematics test assesses proficiency from intermediate algebra through precalculus. Six categories are covered. The first category, algebraic operations, includes simplifying rational algebraic expression, factoring, expanding polynomials, and manipulating roots and exponents. Another category, solutions of equations and inequalities, includes the solution of linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, equation systems, and other algebraic equations. Coordinate geometry asks questions about plane geometry, the coordinate plan, straight lines, conics, sets of points in the plane and graphics of algebraic functions. Applications and other algebra topics ask about complex numbers, series and sequences, determinants, permutations and combinations, fractions and word problems. The last category, functions and trigonometry, presents questions about polynomial, algebraic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. You will be presented a total of 20 questions.
This test measures your ability to solve problems that involve college-level mathematics concepts.
All figures in this test are drawn as accurately as possible, given the limits of the equipment being used.
Before you begin the actual test there will be a sample question with the correct answer indicated.
Solve the following problem. You may use the paper you have been given for scratch work.
