Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Exam

The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Exam is given the Wednesday of the first week of instruction of each semester. Please see the “Announcements” and/or “Calendar” on the Mathematics Department homepage for exact date, time and location as that information becomes available.

Receipt of a minimum score of 26 (out of 60) on this exam will fulfill the QR requirement of the College of Letters & Science. This multiple-choice exam covers precalculus topics ranging from rational expressions, exponents & radicals, linear equations, inequalities, absolute values, polynomials, functions, trigonometry, geometry, to logarithmic & exponential functions. A handout with sample questions is available from the Mathematics Department in 970 Evans Hall.

For additional information on the College of Letters & Science Quantitative Reasoning requirement visit http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirements/qr.html.
