Thanks for visiting!

Male: "So on the ELM there was a lot of like basic like algebra, geometry and some like basic math."

1st Female: "I was pretty confident that I was going to pass but I don’t know I just missed it by a couple of points."

Male: "If you don’t pass the ELM you’ll be placed in the remedial class in your college."

1st Female: "And it really sucks because I don’t know, I feel like it’s like a waste of a semester really, and like buying the text book and stuff when it’s like elementary math."

2nd Female: "I like learning stuff, I’m not really learning much in remedial math plus I’m spending my money and using units that I shouldn’t be. When I’m registering for class I can’t even register for all the classes that I want to because I have to pass my remedial classes first."

Male: "Every thing’s been review to me like I know everything, like it’s pretty easy and I feel like kind of like dumb or not smart being in that class because I’m in college and I’m retaking classes I took in high school and middle school."

2nd Female: "Walking into the ELM I would have took all the time that I had, like if I would have finished early I probably would have went back even though I don’t like going back and redoing every single question again but I would have."

Male: "Get practice, like practice tests I think if you go online there’s a lot of practice tests for the ELM, just learn the material."

1st Female: "I would definitely study before the test because I kind of went in and didn’t really study so yeah, study more, get like more practice with algebra 2, geometry and all that kind of stuff."
