Math General Curriculum
To help you prepare for the Math subtest of General Curriculum, Lesley offers two preparation possibilities:
- a 4-session weekend workshop open to all Lesley students, current applicants, alum and the general public, and
- a new, intensive evening course open to Lesley students (and possibly others as space permits)
Participants in the workshop or the course must co-register for the online math diagnostic. All Lesley students and alum can register for and take the diagnostic at no charge without registering for the workshop or course. Results of the diagnostic may help you decide whether you need a workshop or course.
All students in Elementary, Moderate, or Severe programs are strongly advised to take the diagnostic during their first semester at Lesley in order to have enough time to prepare for the subtest. Questions? Contact Maureen Yoder, 617.349.8421.
