Students will however take exams on an individual basis.
Math Professor, Carlos Esteve will be administering the Math Challenge exams for Solano College MESA students. He can do it on:
Wed., March 20;
Monday, March 25; or
Wed., March 27
Between 3-5pm in Room 1521.
If those times do not work out, he could also do it on a Tuesdays or Thursdays starting at 5:00 pm however, he would need to find a classroom in the math building open during those times.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU’RE INTERESTED AND IF SO, WHAT TIMEFRAME WOULD WORK BEST FOR YOU. A sign-up sheet will also be provided in the MESA Center.
As an FYI, Professor Esteve is providing a link below to the amaytc contest site for the amaytc test which some Solano students recently took. The site includes copies of previous test with answers. The amaytc test is similar in type to the MESA challenge test, so you can look it over to get a feel for the type of questions that are asked on the challenge test.
