Tutoring with a professional prior to 10th grade is a great way
to meet college entry and graduation goals. Starting
lessons prior to 10th grade allows enough time to fix weak math
skills. Students in 10th grade and higher are extra busy and many are
already burned out on academics....
Basic math skills are tested heavily on the exam described
below. Topics included are equations, fractions, decimals,
integers, percents, speed, area, perimeter/circumference, and
algebraic expressions.
A math placement exam called THEA is required for some students
before entering into college. To find out about which
students have to take it, click the link http://www.tamug.edu/acen/thea_information.htm
The info in the box below shows what happens to a student who is
required to pass it for a Texas college but fails it.
What if I do not pass the THEA/ACCUPLACER Exam?
Students who fail one or more sections of the THEA
test are required by Texas Law to remain continuously
enrolled in developmental studies (similar to middle school
math) in addition to their other coursework until all
sections of the test are passed. These courses will
not
count toward any degree requirements. Students
who have not passed all sections of the THEA Exam may not
enroll in upper level courses.
