Description:

The College Mathematics examination covers material generally taught in a college course for nonmathematics majors and majors in other fields not requiring knowledge of advanced mathematics. Approximately half of the test requires candidates to solve routine straightforward problems; the remainder involves solving nonroutine problems in which candidates must demonstrate their understanding of concepts. The test includes questions on the real number system, logic, sets, equations, functions and their graphs, probability, statistics, and data analyses. A few questions on other topics are included, such as complex numbers, logarithms and exponents, and applications from algebra and geometry. It is assumed that candidates are familiar with currently taught mathematics vocabulary, symbols, and notation. The examination places little emphasis on arithmetic calculations, and it does not contain any questions that require the use of a calculator. However, an online nongraphing scientific calculator is available to candidates during the examination as part of the testing software.
