Chapter 2 You can get ready for a college degree now!

“Of all pre-college curricula, the highest level of mathematics one studies in secondary school has the strongest continuing influence on bachelors degree completion..” Adelman, C Answers in the Tool Box: Academic Intensity, Attendance Patterns, and Bachelor's Degree Attainment. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Education.

What’s needed for high school students to be ready for college? Take more rigorous math and more years of math in high school Take math and/or math-based science in the senior year Understand why math is important Know what preparation is needed for college Source – What's needed for high schoolers to be ready for college © 2004, Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, What's needed for high schoolers to be ready for college

Chapter 3 Once you’re ready for college, you need to be ready to take a college- level math class, but first the test…

The College math placement test

Washington Universities Do not use these as official statements. Contact the school to get current and official admission information. School Math Entrance Requirement Placement Test EWU 3 years – Algebra I, Geometry & Algebra II (or Core 1 through 3) APTP _center/aptp/index.html _center/aptp/index.html WSUAPTP, ACT or SAT UWAPTP CWUAPTP, ACT or SAT Compass WWUAPTP Whitworth3 years recommendedNo placement test

Spokane Community Colleges School Entrance Requirement in Mathematics Placement Test SCC and SFCC Any Level of High School Math COMPASS or ASSET Do not use these as official statements. Contact the school to get current and official admission information. Community Colleges love everyone…and trust no one.

WASL College-Level Course Placement Tests You can’t expect these tests to be the same; they measure different things… WASL is a 10th grade exam College Placement Tests are taken at the end of the 12th grade WASL exam includes Algebra, Geometry Probability, Statistics, Problem-Solving and Application problems College placement exams may test all of these concepts, but place particular emphasis on Algebra & Functions at a higher level Multiple-choice, short answer and extended response Multiple-Choice only Calculators No Calculators

WASL Standard Source – Relationship Between the WASL and Placement Tests Used by Community and Technical Colleges, Social & Economic Sciences Research Center, WSU 2002 Well for Newton’s sake, the WASL isn’t designed for college placement; it’s a 10 th Grade test!

Chapter 4 What if you take a placement test, but don’t place into college-level math?

Developmental vs. College-Level Mathematics Coursework Pre-Algebra Courses (Community Colleges) Basic Algebra Courses Intermediate Algebra Courses Precalculus Math for Liberal Arts Finite Math Math for Elem. Ed. Probability/ Statistics Other Developmental Math Courses bring a student up to college level. They do not transfer or count for college credit. Why does it matter?

more time to degree The cost of placement into developmental mathematics… more money more frustration in college courses that use mathematics There’s more evidence on the next slide!

A Closer Look at the Costs # of Dev. Ed. Classes Taken Additional cost at SCC or SFCC* Additional cost at EWU* 1$378.25$ $756.50$1567 3$ $ $1513$3134 * Based on tuition rates for 5 undergraduate credits.

…everywhere.

Did you know that more than 80 % of high school graduates say they would work harder, and take tougher courses, if they could do high school over again?

No. Many 2-year applied degrees do not require college level math. Go to the SFCC (Professional Technical Programs) and SCC (Programs – A.A.S. Degrees) web pages. Check out the possibilities. Do you have to take College-level math to get a degree?
