Worried about having to take a non-credit math course? MxCC has a solution for you! Take a Fast Track Math Workshop to see if you can raise your math course placement on the Accuplacer test.
You are eligible if you are a student who:
- Did not place into a college-level math course (Mat 137 or above)
- Did not do well in MAT 085
The 10 day workshop covers topics ranging from arithmetic to elementary algebra. The course is structured as a combination of lecture, group work, and self-paced online tutorial videos and practice sets. Dedication outside the classroom is also required in order to achieve maximum results. Students will be given the opportunity to re-take the Accuplacer placement test at the end of the workshop. Our goal is to enable you to begin your sequence of required math courses for your academic program at a higher level, reduce the use of financial aid for remedial courses, and graduate in a timely manner
The Accuplacer Preparation Course is FREE!

Frequently Asked Questions
WHY IS MATH IMPORTANT?
Math can help you prepare for a career. The skills that you learn in math courses are applicable down the line, even if you are not studying to become an engineer or an accountant. Many entry-level jobs require employees to have some math knowledge. It is frequently called the gatekeeper subject because to earn a degree, certificate, or license, students must complete a college-level math course.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
High school graduates will be trained in the skills required to successfully complete the math portion of the Accuplacer Test, which is a suite of tests that determines your knowledge in math, reading and writing as you prepare to enroll in college-level courses.
WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM?
Our goal is to enable you to begin your sequence of required math courses for your academic program at a higher level.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM?
New students who do not place into a college-level math course after taking the Accuplacer Test and current students who placed in MAT*075, MAT*085, and MAT*095, but did not start the math sequence yet, are eligible.
