Math for El. Ed. 1, MAT201M, Pre-test Policy
(2/8/2008)
Before registering for MAT201M (Mathematics for Elementary Education 1), a student must demonstrate sufficient skills in basic mathematics. These skills are generally at the middle-school level and are essential for successful completion of the course. There are two ways students can satisfy this requirement:
- A score of at least 23 on the Math portion of the ACT or 519 on the Math portion of the SAT.
- Passing Bethel's MAT201M Pre-Test with a minimum score of 80%.
In other words, a student not meeting the ACT/SAT requirement must pass the MAT201M Pre-Test before registering for the course.
Other Polices and Notes:
- The pre-test will be administered at the times given in the schedule below. Students can take the exam only one time during each testing period.
- Students need only pass the exam once.
- First semester freshmen will not be admitted to the course unless they have a sufficient ACT/SAT score and are intending a grades 5 - 8 specialty in mathematics.
