Placement Testing

So you need to take a math placement test. Download our Math Placement Guide for an overview of the placement testing process and GCC math courses. We also recommend the following options to help you get ready for testing.

  • Sign-up for My Math Test. (Download our guide to mymathtest.com for help signing up.) This is an online computer program that can help you refresh your arithmetic and algebra skills. The GCC Math Department has created a series of 15 tests at this site that correspond to the content of our three developmental math classes. Once you complete a test, a study plan is created for you based on your results. My Math Test is a commercial product (not affiliated with GCC), so it does cost money.
  • Visit Khan Academy. Khan Academy is a not-for-profit organization; their videos and practice problems are available free of charge (but are not specifically tailored to our three developmental classes). Download our guide to Khan Academy
  • Study the materials that the math department has put on reserve in the GCC Nahman-Watson library (these materials may be checked out).
  • Borrow a text book from the Math Studio (N401).
