Enrolled Student Math Placement Exam

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman for Fall 26. Does anyone remember what was on the math placement exam? I'm wondering if its more calculus or algebra based, and if there's a place to practice for it? thank you!

OP Here, Just took the test and it is very algebra 2 and trig based. There was a lot about simplifying fractions, understanding variables, and trig Identities. It felt very much like the Math portion of the SAT, there was no calculus on it at all. Hope this helps anyone else looking for answers!

Hey! I've been procrastinating on the test mainly becase I've been afraid of it. Would you suggest anything that I could review before the exam? When you say it's like the SAT are graphing calculators allowed in the exam? Can we use Desmos?

Hey, I reviewed using the Khan academy sat math section, it was very much like that, except there is no calculators allowed. You do have to know how to manually do the problems you would normaly graph, as well as trig identities because to my knowledge that is not in the SAT.
