When I first left home for college, I went to the state university about a hundred miles from my home town. There were 14 of us from my graduating class who all started down there together, and we all took the math placement test. All 14 of us, including guys who had aced their college prep trig and calculus courses in high school, tested into remedial, no-credit, math "refresher," which was just barely a 100-level course. What does that tell you?<br><b>References : </b><br> No, and high school math does not prepare students to adequately handle college either.
