In order to determine how skilled people are in mathematics at the undergraduate level, the College Board set up the College Mathematics exam. This is one of the institution's CLEP examinations that are credited by more than three thousand colleges in the United States, which makes it possible to do away with the required entry courses in colleges.
There are a number of topics into which the College Mathematics Exam has been divided in the following manner:
* 25% - Probability & statistics
* 20% - Functions & their graphs
* 20% - Real number systems
* 15% - Other geometry and algebra topics
* 10% - Logic
* 10% - Sets
In the Sets subsection, the topics covered include subsets; union & subsection; venn diagrams; as well as the cartesian product. In the logic subsection, the topics are conditional statements; truth tables; necessary & sufficient conditions; disjunctions, conjunctions, implications, & negations; inverse, converse, & contrapositive; as well as hypotheses, conclusions, & counterexamples.
In the subsection of real number systems, the topics dealt with include odd & even numbers; prime & composite numbers; rational & irrational numbers; factors & divisibility; open & closed intervals; as well as absolute value and order. The topics in the subsection of functions are domain & range; properties & graphs of functions; as well as the composition of functions & inverse functions. Under probability & statistics, the topics include counting problems; simple conditional probability; computing of probabilities of both simple & compound events; median, mean, mode, & range; as well as standard deviation. And in the subsection dealing with additional topics, there are logarithms & exponents; complex numbers; perimeter & area of plane figures; applications from geometry & algebra; parallel and perpendicular lines; pythagorean theorem; properties of circles, rectangles, & triangles; as well as algebraic equations & inequalities.
It requires a maximum of ninety minutes to complete the sixty multiple-choice questions. The score is scaled between 20 and 80, and it takes a minimum of 50 to qualify.
There are more than 1,000 locations worldwide from where the College Mathematics exam is taken, and you may register online at the College Board's website.
