Support for math, economics and science courses
Discover tutoring, study groups, exam prep sessions and more to help you master your math, economics and science-based course materials.
Support for your course
For all math-based courses:
Math, engineering, accounting, statistics and finance courses
Self-assessments for math prerequisites
Math courses build on each other. Understanding concepts from earlier courses is essential for success at the next level.
If you’ve been exempted from a prerequisite course and are moving ahead, we recommend testing your knowledge for the course you’ve been exempted from.
Courses covered
Take these self-assessments if you've been exempted from MATH 203, 204, 205, 206, 208 or 209.
- Download the self-assessment for the course you were exempted from.
- Complete the assessment in 60–90 minutes.
- Try it without reference materials for an accurate picture of your knowledge.
Note that your results are private. They don’t affect your exemption status and are for your use only.
Compare your results to the scale below. Note that the scale offers a general guideline.
- 80 –100%: You're in a good position to carry on with your course selection. You can book an appointment with a math tutor if you'd like to review concepts from the prerequisite course.
- 70 – 80%: Review challenging topics from the prerequisite course. You can get help from a math tutor.
- 50 – 70%: We encourage you to book an appointment with a math tutor, and watch our video module for study strategies for math-based courses.
- Below 50%: We strongly suggest that you meet with an academic advisor to discuss a preparation plan for your courses. Book an appointment with a math tutor to prepare for your current courses.
