MAT 010 0-19 (remains in MAT 010)
20-30 (passes out of MAT 010)

MAT 013 0-17 (remains in MAT 013)
18-25 (passes out of MAT 013)

15-19 (MAT 129A)

All Math challenges must be completed before the start of the second week of class meetings. Review materials are available to help them prepare for the math challenge tests. Students can pick up math review materials in the Testing Center (JLC 229).
