What if I dont take any of
these tests?y If a student has not taken (and achieved a sufficient score in both
Reading and M ath), the student MUSTtake an entrance exam at the college oruniversity (& pay for it).
yThese exams determine if the student will have to take remedial courses ornot.

What are college remedial
courses? Courses like Senior English, Algebra
I, etc.- how many courses dependson how bad you do on the tests.
Courses that DO NOT COUNT

college longer !!!!
