The purpose is to teach you how to be effective at online study, make sure you know how to use online resources, and make sure you're ready for more advanced courses. As part of this they test your reading/writing/math skills as well, both to make sure you're ready and to set a baseline.
So you know, they also test this stuff again in the capstone.
If it helps anyone, the math that shows up again in the LIB Capstone is the ETS proficiency profile test.
Here is a link to TESU's information about that test. On that document is a link to sample questions. Yes, some middle school to high school math is part of it.

Before I decided to enroll at TESU, I originally thought I'd stop at an associates at my local community college. That college uses this ETS test as well as an exit exam, but we have to do the paper version instead of online. I was in one of the last test dates before covid shut it all down and the college waived it for graduates because can't have people in same room that close anymore. anyway, I am glad I got the practice for it that way.
If there are other places in the LIB capstone with math, I am not aware yet. I'll know in a few weeks when I start the capstone. But I haven't had to take more math courses beyond the CLEP I took for Gen Ed. I did have to show I knew some math in testing. I tested out of the MyLab completely in SOS110. I had to do the Nimbly Wise assignments because I didn't get high enough on the pre tests for those. But got through Nimbly in a few days of very concentrated work. I was glad to go through that. I found it helpful and useful. mileage may vary
ps: the syllabus for SOS110 is available online without being enrolled, and shows the info for MyLab stuff with math is tested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gyiz...9clfyhgba0 The MyLab Foundational Skills software from Pearson is designed to help you assess your reading, writing, and math skills and improve skills as needed
