This course is for students planning to attend any two or four year college. County College of Morris and many four year colleges, require students to take the NextGen Accuplacer test in order to determine the student's prior knowledge. Students do not pass or fail the test but rather place into a particular knowledge group as a result of the test score. Scoring well on this exam will prevent students from taking remedial math courses in college. Students often must pay for these remedial math courses, but they do not count as credits towards the student's degree.

The goal of the class is to help prepare students to be successful on the NextGen Accuplacer exam and attain a score on the test that will allow the student to register for college level Mathematics courses that will count towards the student's degree. The curriculum of the course will follow the three areas that the students will be tested on. Students will review prior math learned through Algebra 2 and practice test-like questions. Since the test does not permit the use of a calculator, one of the requirements of this course is that NO CALCULATORS will be used in the classroom
