I've taken the placement test at a Community College close to there. The test was simple algebra and writing to a prompt. It was only about 20 or so questions. Brush up on your math skills.

Question: Community College of Philadelphia class location?

I am trying to find out the location of my classes. I live relatively far from the campus so it'll be diffcult to see the campus before my first day of class.(which is only days away!ah!) The room number is C3-11 and C3-09. My roster also says build:CBI (which I of course have NO CLUE what that means!) and camp: MAI (again...no clue!) I feel slightly doomed here. Does anyone know what building these classes are at?

camp: MAI means that you are going to the main campus, which is located at Spring Garden and 17th streets. It's downtown, and now that far from the Spring Garden subway station. There are other campuses as well, one up in the greater Northeast (near Franklin Mills) and I'm not sure where the others are. For room numbers, the system they use... the letters in it stand for what building the class is in. I'm not sure what building the C stands for, but there are only a handful of buildings so it won't be too hard to find the one you need to go to. The number after the letter stands for what floor it's on. So your classes would be on the third floor. Don't worry; I was terrified about getting lost my first day but I did fine. When you get to the campus, you can always ask someone there... there are usually people at the front desk of any building who are there to help you if you have any questions.

placement test for community college is really easy. the English test are all choices, the math is choices too but you do have to solved the problems. The math will be all about what you learned in high school mostly algebra. just go to the school where your taking the test and get some sample questions. Writing is easy you just have to say what's your opinion in the subject and you should at least know how to construct a sentence and proper use of grammar. Don't worry it's not a pass of failed exam they just want to know what you learned in high school , and to determined what subjects or courses you need to take for the registration.
