Math Vault for Incoming Students
Having graduated with an Applied Math Degree from the Math Department and having done tutoring in these specific core classes, specifically first semester and second semester Calculus, I recognized a need for a pre-assessment test to help prospective students. When I entered college, there were minimal resources to get an idea of what Berkeley Math is like and which semester Calculus would best suit me. I decided to take on the initiative of creating pre-assessment tests for prospective students and students who want to do the exam for fun to help ease the transition to college.
Some instructions on how to go about the tests. As mentioned in the pre-assessment tests for both tests, we noted that they are 3 hour exams and in the case that you are unable to solve certain problems, our recommendation is that you try to move onto the next questions. In addition, if you are unable to solve all the questions or finish the exam within the expected time frame, it is completely okay. Feel free to take extra time to work through the exam and finish out any problems you were not able to. Also, check out the solutions if you have any questions on how to approach the questions or check your answers. Lastly, we would like to mention that struggling at Berkeley and not knowing how to approach problems is completely okay and justified!
