TEST PREPARATION

There is math software (Rusty Math Skills) available through the college computer drop-in labs which allows students an opportunity for an in-depth review of their math skills. This is available on the Main Campus, Chico Center and Glenn County Center. The software covers basic math, beginning and intermediate algebra. Students can work at their own pace on the math areas that will help refresh their skills.
