You Decide!! • If the topics in the review worksheet and the skill test were a piece of cake • You are good to go for this class! • If you are familiar with the topics but don’t remember and your test was average or just above • You should not have much problem, but you will have to study hard! and review the math skills.
You Decide!! • If you knew a few things and did not know other things and your test was near the average but below • You will have to work very hard, otherwise you will not make it. • If you don’t know all or most of the topics in the review worksheet and you did not perform well in the skill test • You will not make it thru this class. You should drop it.
