The number of questions on the math competency exam will be agreed upon in the cross campus meetings for the PCCC course. Questions will cover the content taught in previous courses/semester (For example: At the beginning of semester 2, the math exam will cover content tested and learned in semester 1.)

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students do not pass the required math competency exam if they miss more than one question. Students are able to take the test up to a total of five times during the semester. Students are required to complete remediation between exams under the guidance of a faculty member. Students will be allowed to repeat the exam when both student and faculty member are prepared to do so. Students will not pass medications in the clinical area until they have passed the exam. Students will also receive a Needs Improvement (NI) related to medications on the clinical evaluation tool until the student passes the exam if they are in a patient care setting where passing medications is an expectation. If the student fails to pass the math competency exam after five attempts, this will result in failure of the clinical course. </li> | <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students do not pass the required math competency exam if they miss more than one question.
