    due to the large amount of math failure, several colleges are offering potential candiadates a chance to take a math exam over the next few weeks at the college they applied to.
    read this in the paper today. seems promising.

    anyone have more info on it, as im seriously stuck and need to take it for my place in college.

    different levels of exam depending on whether say you need a C3 for engineering or an OD3 for a non-mathsy course
