Twenty percent, or more, of entering college freshman have to take a remedial math class before they can take a college level math course. This happens because they do not score well on the college math placement tests. Remedial math courses cost money but don’t count towards graduation. Students placed in remedial math courses find this extra expense of time and money aggravating, as do their parents.
Even worse, students who must enroll in remedial courses often do not earn the degree or certificate they had hoped. Often adult students who completed high school many years ago find themselves in remedial math classes because it’s been so long since they took a math class. Others who end up in remedial math classes include students whose high school math courses were not rigorous enough and students who struggled to get good grades in math.
