If your Math Placement Test score ends up below the minimum level for the course you plan to take, you’ll have the chance to review before your course begins, or you may choose to retake a lower level course to brush up on your skills. The low Math Placement Test score won’t block you from enrolling in your math course, but it can be an indication that review is needed. A higher Math Placement Test score may also qualify you to take a more advanced math course than you would using your existing prerequisites. 4.
