Juniors Only : Should I Take Math or Not?
Most students should take a math class their senior year. All universities, technical schools, community colleges, and the military require you to take a placement test in reading, math and writing. Not taking math senior year significantly impacts your scores on these exams This may cause you to be placed in non-college level courses. Worse, it could impact your admission to a university or the program of your choice. Choose carefully! If you decide that you no longer want a math class in your senior year because you already have 3.0 credits, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO DROP IT!!!!
