The test is not perfect, so in making any final placement decision also use common sense.  \nThe student should work independently without the use of a calculator. It is not necessary to time the test, but most students will finish in less than 112 hours.  \nScoring  \nThe test is divided into two sections. Section 1 includes problems 1 – 15. This is the simpler part of the test, covering material from the first half of our Algebra 1 product. Section 2 includes problems 16 – 30. It is the more difficult part of the test, covering material from the second half of our Algebra 1 product.  \nThe student is probably ready for Algebra 2 if he/she makes the following scores on the two sections.  \n10 or more correct on Section 1 (problems 1 – 15) and 8 or more correct on Section 2 (problems 16 – 30)  \nIf the student’s score falls below this level, the Algebra 1 Teaching Textbook is probably a better starting point.  \nAlgebra 2 Placement Test  \nSection 1  \nEvaluate each expression below.  \n1. 5 − 3(x −1) when x = 7  \n2. 4x2 − 5x +1 when x = −2  \nSimplify each expression below.  \n3. y (y −11) 4.
