Below are the results of the diagnostic test. The 40 problems on the test are separated into 8 categories of problems:
EXPR Exponents and radicals FNCT Functions LINR Linear Equations and Inequalities, and absolute values LOGX Logarithmic and Exponential Functions POLY Polynomials and Polynomial Functions RATL Rational Expressions and their graphs TRGM Trigonometry WORD Word Problems The idea is that you can see not only your overall % of questions you answered correctly, but in which areas of the prerequisites you are stronger or weaker. One grouping of scores is a raw percentage of correct answers in each area (the last 8 columns) and the columns to the left of those has either a "1" if your score indicates you are proficient in that area or a "0" if not.
Student 0462795, for instance, is quite good in every area except trigonometry. This student should spend extra time making sure they have a good understanding of trigonometric functions and relations, especially since about 1/3 of the problems we will tackle in 1A will involve trig function.
While this diagnostic will not have 100% correlation with success in the course, if you scored below, say, 50%, you may want to consider why? Did you properly meet the prerequisites for this course?

The low overall proficiency in solving word problems and problems involving trigonometry is of particular concern!
