ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA SKILLS
On the actual Accuplacer Elementary Algebra, there will be
12 multiple
choice questions. When answering those questions, be careful, take your
time, and double check your answers. You will be given pencils and paper,
but you cannot use a calculator . This practice packet is not multiple
choice, but does cove the topics you may see on the actual test. The
answers begin on page.
