You are unsure: Is my knowledge of mathematics sufficient? Or should I take the math pre-course?
The following can help you decide:
 

Decision aid 1: School time and final grade
We always recommend the math pre-course,

• if your math lessons in school were longer than a year ago
• or you had a 3 ("satisfactory") or 4 ("sufficient") as your final grade in math.
   

Decision aid 2: Measure by content
Already know today what will soon be taught in your pre-college math course?
No problem: Take your time and click through the excerpt from the lecture notes and a few selected exercise sheets.
Ask yourself: would you have known? If not: We recommend that you take the math pre-course.
