This is not a pass/fail test. The purpose of the placement test is to find out where your math skills are now and to place you in the best level to start classes. If you are taking the test soon, you probably won't be able to learn any new math; the best strategy is to review math you've already had (especially if you haven't used it for a long time!)
Web sites that might help you in your math review:

Calculators
There is a calculator built into the program for you to use (you are not allowed to use your own calculator). It is the same as the standard Microsoft Window's calculator. View examples of the Windows calculators.
Other Resources
- Public libraries -- check the math section or ask for math review materials at the reference desk.
- Book stores -- In addition to books, some stores have laminated pages of formulas for review. For some people, this is enough to refresh their memory.
- Old textbooks, if you have them, can be another resource.
