Calculus Readiness Test
(Sample Exam)
Directions: You should plan on finishing the exam in under 1 hour. Part of the needs of Calculus 1 are not
only to know certain algebra and trigonometry topics, but be able to fairly quickly have them at your fingertips.
The thread of calculus can easily be lost if you are struggling with the necessary background mathematics. Once
you have taken your practice test, check your answers with the correct ones given on the reverse side of this
sheet.
Once you have taken your practice test, check your answers with the correct ones given below, and then check
the topical list to determine your deficiencies.
