Prepare for the NOVA Math Placement Test: Tutoring and Other Resources

Starting NOVA soon? You may be required to take a math placement test, which will determine whether you need to take remedial math before you can take the math courses in your program. Remedial math could set you back a semester or a year in your program.

Perhaps you need remedial math. Perhaps you don’t, but still you may place poorly just because you’re not prepared. Then you have to take remedial math. Don’t let that happen.

Prepare.
