High School Math Readiness and Prerequisites

In order to help prepare your student for success in their UHC math class, we encourage you to use the Readiness Assessments below.  These tests can be used 2 ways:

  1. Take the applicable assessment before your on-site enrollment meeting to help you determine the best placement of courses.
  2. Use these assessments to review over the summer to learn or brush up on topics in preparation for the class in the fall.

High School Math Readiness Tests

  • Algebra 1 Readiness Test (to determine readiness for taking Algebra 1)
  • Algebra 2 and Geometry Readiness Test (to determine readiness for taking Algebra 2 OR Geometry)
  • Precalculus, Consumer Math, College Algebra, or Probability & Statistics- A readiness test is not available.  Please talk to the High School Director at enrollment for guidance in placement into these classes.

If your student scores below the recommended level on the readiness test, we recommend you consider using one or more of the following resources to review and prepare for class in the fall:

  • Study with an online resource such as Khan Academy
  • Study with a previously used math textbook (or purchase a used one)
  • Hire a private tutor
  • Add a virtual math lab to your UHC enrollment course list

If your student does well on this assessment, it is recommended that this assessment be used as a review closer to the start of school.  This will provide a refresher of the concepts that may have been forgotten over the summer.

*Please note that the Readiness Test is NOT the same thing as the Summer Assignment.
