A large portion of the exam is devoted to testing a student’s understanding of functions and their properties. Many of the questions test a student’s knowledge of specific properties of the following types of functions: linear, quadratic, absolute value, square root, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, and piecewise defined. Questions on the exam will present these types of functions symbolically, graphically, verbally, or in tabular form. A solid understanding of these types of functions is at the core of all precalculus courses, and it is a prerequisite for enrolling in calculus and other college-level mathematics courses.  \nThe examination contains approximately 48 questions, in two sections, to be answered in approximately 90 minutes.  \n§ Section 1: 25 questions, approximately 50 minutes. The use of an online graphing calculator (non-CAS) is allowed for this section. Only some of the questions will require the use of the calculator.  \n§ Section 2: 23 questions, approximately 40 minutes. No calculator is allowed for this section.  \nAlthough most of the questions on the exam are multiple choice, there are some questions that require students to enter a numerical answer.  \nGraphing Calculator  \nA graphing calculator, which is integrated into the exam software, is available to students only during Section 1 of the exam. Students are expected to know how and when to make use of it.  \nFor more information about the graphing calculator, please visit the Precalculus exam description on the CLEP website, [clep.collegeboard.org](clep.collegeboard.org).  \nIn order to answer some of the questions in Section 1 of the exam, students may be required to use the online graphing calculator in the following ways:  \n§ Perform calculations (e.g., exponents, roots, trigonometric values, logarithms) .  \n§ Graph functions, and analyze the graphs.  \n§ Find zeros of functions.  \n§ Find points of intersection of graphs of functions.  \n§ Find minima/maxima of functions.  \n§ Find numerical solutions to equations.  \n§ Generate a table of values for a function.  \nKnowledge and Skills Required  \nQuestions on the examination require candidates to demonstrate the following abilities:  \n§ Recalling factual knowledge and/or performing routine mathematical manipulation.  \n§ Solving problems that demonstrate comprehension of mathematical ideas and/or concepts.  \n§ Solving nonroutine problems or problems that require insight, ingenuity, or higher mental processes.  \nThe subject matter of the Precalculus examination is drawn from the following topics. The percentages next to the topics indicate the approximate percentage of exam questions on that topic.  \n20% ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS, EQUATIONS, AND INEQUALITIES  \n§ Ability to perform operations on algebraic expressions  \n§ Ability to solve equations and inequalities, including linear, quadratic, absolute value, polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric  \n§ Ability to solve systems of equations, including linear and nonlinear  \n15% FUNCTIONS: CONCEPT, PROPERTIES, AND OPERATIONS  \n§ Ability to demonstrate an understanding of the concept of a function, the general properties of functions (e.g., domain, range), function notation, and to perform symbolic operations with functions (e.g., evaluation, inverse functions)  \n30% REPRESENTATIONS OF FUNCTIONS: SYMBOLIC, GRAPHICAL, AND TABULAR  \n§ Ability to recognize and perform operations and transformations on functions presented symbolically, graphically, or in tabular form  \n§ Ability to demonstrate an understanding of basic properties of functions and to recognize elementary functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, square root, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigo","cbCaic7w6Aq7eXBT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic7w6Aq7eXBT","pdf",253425,"English","# Description of the Examination\n## Exam structure and timing\n## Graphing Calculator (Section 1)\n## Knowledge and Skills Required\n## Topic breakdown and approximate percentages\n## Notes and Reference Information","[{\"question\":\"What skills does the CLEP Precalculus exam test most strongly?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses command of precalculus skills centered on functions and their properties, including operations, representations, and comprehension of key function types.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the CLEP Precalculus exam organized, and how long do you have?\",\"answer\":\"The exam has about 48 questions in two sections, to be answered in about 90 minutes total.\"},{\"question\":\"When is the graphing calculator allowed, and what can you do with it?\",\"answer\":\"The integrated online non-CAS graphing calculator is available only during Section 1.
