 Math placement is important. The purpose of math placement is to determine which math course is right for you. It can impact how much money and time you spend on your education. This could get in the way of you graduating, especially if you put math off, as many students do, and then they don't graduate because they just need that one math course. We are here to support you and want you to get into the best math course for you. At Highline College, we do math placement in many different ways to serve you best.
