This exam was developed to enable schools to award credit to students for knowledge equivalent to that learned by students taking the course. This exam covers topics such as complex numbers, algebraic operations, equations and inequalities, and properties of functions and their graphs. The exam contains 100 questions to be answered in 2 hours. The use of a non-programmable calculator is permitted in this exam.
