Abstract:

A mathematics competency test was administered at the beginning of each semester to undergraduate and graduate business students. These students were enrolled in three different business statistics courses. The test scores of these groups were used to determine their level of preparedness for the courses in which they were enrolled. An attempt will be made to point out areas of weaknesses and then suggest remedial measures.
