ACCUPLACER Math for Beginners

ACCUPLACER Math for Beginners is a patient, step-by-step guide for students preparing for the ACCUPLACER math placement tests, written for readers who need to rebuild their math from the ground up. A strong placement score can save time and tuition by letting you start in college-level math, and this book shows you how to get there.

The book follows the three ACCUPLACER math sections:

• Part I, Arithmetic: whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, and number sense
• Parts II and III, Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics: ratios and rates, percent applications, measurement, geometry, data and graphs, probability, linear equations, inequalities, exponents and polynomials, functions, and statistics
• Part IV, Advanced Algebra Preview: rational expressions, the quadratic formula, and other topics from the Advanced Algebra and Functions test

Every chapter explains each idea in plain language with shaded worked examples, then gives ten to fifteen practice problems with fully worked solutions. Each part ends with a review set. The book also includes strategies for computer-adaptive tests, three study plans (two, four, or six weeks), three practice tests with worked answer keys, and a formula sheet and glossary.
