A Math or Trades Math assessment provides a snapshot of your current math skills. You can use this assessment to determine whether you are ready to enter your program of choice, or need some upgrading first.
֦Ƶapp offers several options for completing a Math assessment. See the descriptions below to determine which option is best for you.
Option A: Assessment & Testing Centre
Select Option A if you have already completed Math 10 but need a higher placement for your program.
This is a computer-based assessment best suited for students who are fairly confident with their math skills. Even if it’s been a while since you last used math, you believe it would come back to you with a little review.
dzٱ:Students who are registering for a Trades program (with the exception of Electrical or Fine Furniture) must select the Trades Math assessment.
Option B: Access Assessment
Select Option B if you have not completed Math up to a grade 10 level and would benefit from individualized support while completing your assessment. This assessment is one-to-one with a Camosun instructor.
Note: This assessment places up to grade 11 level only.
Option C: ֦Ƶapp Learning Partnerships
You can also take a one-to-one assessment through ֦Ƶapp Learning Partnerships, which offers classes at community-based sites to make it easier to begin or return to learning.
Select Option Cif you would like to complete your assessment with the any of following partnerships:
- Bridges for Women Society (Downtown and Westshore locations)
- Island ֦Ƶapp Mental Health, W̱SÁNEĆ College
- Victoria Native Friendship Centre
- Malahat Nation ֦Ƶapp
Note: This assessment places up to grade 11 level only
