CHOOSING A MATH COURSE AT SOLANO COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Hello! Welcome (or welcome back) to Solano Community College. The goal of this website is to help you assess your math skills, and then help you decide which math course to take here at Solano. This website will focus on three math courses that the majority of our students entering Solano enroll in for their first math course.

The official math placement test taken at Solano Community College is administered by Accuplacer. You can find sample math Accuplacer problems here. We recommend that after spending time on this site, you set up a time to come take the math assessment test given on our campus. The Assessment Center is located on the main Fairfield campus in the 400 Building, Room #442.
