As reported in the Dublin SEFI Workshop in 2014 the universities of Hamburg offer their applicants for engineering, natural science or economy studies two online courses that they can use to recap and complement their knowledge of mathematics, which only makes it possible to begin their studies successfully. Accompanying, we developed an online test that gives recommendations to the students about which subjects to revitalise. The test as well as the courses are based on the COSH-standard for mathematics which is widely accepted in Germany.
In this talk, we will focus on the test and report about the conceptual background, the implementation, the evaluation and evolution of the test which is available for all interested pupils, applicants and students and also for teachers.
