Math placement test – Math 99

An introductory math course focusing on equations, factoring, rational exponents, analytical geometry and trigonometry.

Students starting their math studies at ICM in MATH 99 will also need to complete MATH 101 or MATH 103 before being eligible to take university-level math.

Below is a list of different concepts that will be reviewed in the class, along with some helpful videos from the popular Khan Academy website, a free online resource.

*MATH 101 and MATH 103 are currently be offered in alternating terms.

Practice exercises include concepts of arithmetic and pre-algebra. View links to the study material.
