Test Taking
BHSU students seeking bachelor or associates degrees must pass the Rising Junior Exam (CAAP test). The math department recommends students review related mathematical topics before taking the test. This page describes the help available.
We have developed a D2L page which provides information regarding the test as well as practice questions. To log on to the D2L page , use your normal BHSU Login ID and Password. Students who complete the majority of the practice quizzes will do well on the test.
Before taking the test, we recommend reading the Test Day advice located on the D2L page . When taking the test relax and do your best.
Use a calculator on the test. You may use a Ti-82, 83 or similar model, but NOT a TI-89. If you are concerned about your calculator, please check the CAAP official calculator statement.
Visit with any math professor if you have further questions.
Online Materials
In reviewing for the test, it is best that you review material related to the last math class you completed. For example, if your last class was college algebra, you should review the college algebra material (ignoring the trigonometry material). There will be four trigonometry questions and you should attempt these when taking the test. On the other hand, if you have had trigonometry, you should also review these skills.
