Math Placement for New Students
All students in their first year at Grand View will begin with different backgrounds and levels of preparation in math because each high school is different. Therefore, Grand View gives you the option of taking a Math placement. If you do not take this placement, then you will be placed in a math course based on your major and your ACT/SAT score. If you want to be placed based on the math that you have learned so far, it is recommended you take the Math placement. Be sure to take your time and put forth your best effort in order to reflect as best as possible what you have learned in math so far. You are allowed to use a graphic calculator for the Math placement.
If you are going to take the Math placement, please complete it by May 15th.
