The Boot Camp is a free resource that will help you prepare to take your precalculus (MATH 96, 112, 113, 114) or calculus (MATH 171/217, 221, 222, 234) course.
You will be given a formative assessment that takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. Based on the assessment you will be given learning resources to help you prepare for your course. This boot camp is intended to help you brush up on topics that you are struggling with. You should spend time on the assessment, not use any outside resources, or a calculator. Then, when you finish the assessment take time learning the topics that the assessment identified as weak areas. You will not earn a grade for the boot camp and it is not intended to replace coursework.
You should complete the Boot Camp no later than the first day of class to be prepared for the semester. The purpose of the Boot Camp is to help you prepare for the next semester’s math course, not for continuous review during the course itself.
Below are instructions on how to access the boot camp, as well as guidance on which module you should consider.

- Note: the MATH 171/217 sequence is fall/spring, meaning that MATH 171 is offered only in the fall, and MATH 217 is offered only in the spring. If you wish to take a different math course before moving forward and have questions, please reach out to placement@math.wisc.edu to discuss options. More info on precalculus/MATH 221 vs. MATH 171/217 sequencing can be found here.)
