As a new student at Bunker Hill Community College (as it is with many
colleges I am sure) you are required to take a placement test. When it
came to my reading and writing skills I was ranked in with the top
scores. When it came to math...I didn't do so well. It has been eight
years since I have done anything other than addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. I don't need algebra to balance my
checkbook, yanno? Because it has been so long since I have used any
other kind of math; I need to re-learn it. I was given multiple chances
to re-test, and every time I did do a little bit better, but not good
enough.
I honestly do not want to have to take THREE extra
courses in order to take the two required college level math courses to
get my associates degree at BHCC. It has added an extra semester onto
my time. Now it looks as though I won't be able to transfer to Emerson
until fall of 2013.
As much as I do not want to do this, it is
for the best. I could use these courses as a refresher and no amount
of knowledge is ever a bad thing. So I say, bring it on! haha.
Besides, I think it will also show Emerson how hard I have worked to make my way to them. =]
