• Current Union students
• New students registering in June

Q. I don’t plan to take calculus in college. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. No. The purpose of the Calculus Readiness Test is to determine if the student is sufficiently prepared to be 海角乱伦社区 in college-level calculus.

Q. Do I have to come to Jackson for the CRT?
A. No, the CRT is an online test that can be taken anywhere you have an internet connection.

Q. Is there a fee for taking the CRT?
A. No. There is no charge for taking the CRT.

Q. How do I access the CRT?
A. Through our

Q. When do I take the CRT?
A. When you enroll in the Calculus Readiness Test, your class schedule will show the course MAT-000PT. The term in which that course is listed is the term in which to take the CRT. You may take the CRT anytime during that term.

Q. How long is the exam?
A. You are allowed 45 minutes.

Q. How many questions are on the exam?

A. No. If you passed the first time there is no advantage to taking the exam a second time.

Q. What material is covered on the exam?
A. High-school algebra, basic geometry, problem solving, graphs of functions, and trigonometry. These problems do not involve lengthy or difficult calculations. They are meant to assess if you have learned, remembered, and can quickly apply common relationships that are essential for success in college-level calculus.

Q. May I use a calculator or other materials on the exam?
A. A calculator is not required but may be helpful. You may also benefit from having scratch paper and a pencil in front of you. You may not use any other technology, websites, or other assistance on the test. Remember, the purpose of the exam is to place you in the course for which you are best prepared - trying to qualify for a calculus course without the necessary background only sets you up for failure.

Q. What is the passing score on the exam?
A. A score of 18 or higher out of the 25 questions (72% or higher) is considered passing. Remember that you have two chances to achieve this score.

Q. When will I know if I passed the test?
A. Results of the CRT are immediate, although you may need to click on an appropriate link to find your score.

Q. Once I pass the CRT, what must I do to enroll in calculus?
A. Nothing. When the period for taking the CRT is over, all students who passed will be automatically disenrolled from MAT 116P Calculus Placement and enrolled in the section of calculus in the same time slot. (You will be contacted if we need to put you in a different time slot.) Please allow one week after the deadline for taking the CRT for the administrator to make the enrollment changes.

Q. If I pass the CRT but decide I would rather take precalculus anyway, may I do so?
A. If you would feel more comfortable beginning in precalculus, you may certainly choose to do so. If you passed the CRT but wish to remain in precalculus, contact the CRT Administrator at mmurphy@uu.edu.

Q. How can I study for the CRT?
A. If you desire to study for the CRT (for instance, if you did not pass the CRT on your first try), then there are links to study materials posted in Canvas for the CRT.

Q. I took the AP Calculus exam. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. If you passed an AP Calculus exam with a score of 3 or higher, you do not need to take the CRT. You may enroll as follows:

• If you scored 3 or higher on the AP Calculus AB exam and your score has been received and recorded by the registrar's office, then you may enroll in MAT 212 Calculus and Analytic Geometry II. However, if your score is 3 we recommend that you begin with MAT 211 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I.
• If you scored 3 or higher on the AP Calculus BC exam and your score has been received and recorded by the registrar's office, then you may enroll in MAT 213 Calculus and Analytic Geometry III. However, if your score is 3 we strongly recommend that you begin with MAT 211 or MAT 212.

Q. I have college credit for calculus. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. If your course transfers as MAT 211, then no, you do not need to take the CRT. Make sure your transcript has been received and recorded by the registrar's office, and then you may enroll in MAT 212.

Q. I took calculus in high school. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. It is not unusual for a student to have had calculus in high school and then perform poorly in a college calculus course because of poorly-developed precalculus skills. The prerequisites for MAT 211 are one of the following: (1) MAT 116 Precalculus; (2) MAT 111 College Algebra and MAT 112 Trigonometry; (3) a math ACT score of 29 or higher; or (4) a passing score on the CRT. If you do not meet criteria (1), (2), or (3), then yes, you must take and pass the CRT.

Q. I have college credit for precalculus. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. It depends on which precalculus course you took. Some colleges offer as many as three different precalculus courses: precalculus algebra, precalculus trig, and a precalculus course that serves as a prerequisite to calculus. If the precalculus course you took did not include trigonometry, or if it was not that college's prerequisite to their calculus course, then you must pass the CRT in order to take MAT 211. But if your course transfers as MAT 116, then no, you do not need to take the CRT. Make sure your transcript has been received and recorded by the registrar's office and then you may enroll in MAT 211.

Q. I took precalculus in high school. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. Unless you received college credit for the equivalent of our MAT 116, yes, you need to take the CRT. Union University is committed to the success of our students, and proper placement in the first college mathematics course is an essential part of that commitment.

Q. I have a high math ACT score. Do I need to take the CRT?
A. If your score on the mathematics portion of the ACT is 29 or higher, you do not need to take the CRT. You may enroll in MAT 211.
