It’s important to take Math classes during your freshman year

Math placement scores place students into math classes where students are most successful – placement scores are very accurate

If you want to take a Math class below where you placed that’s fine

If you want to take a Math class above where you’ve placed – this is VERY risky and we STRONGLY advise against it
