Half of freshmen need remedial classes LONG BEACH -- More than half of California State University's freshmen needed to brush up on their English or math skills before they were ready to tackle college -- a showing significantly worse than the school's proficiency goals. Just 43 percent of the incoming freshmen last year were proficient in both English and math, the study released Tuesday found. According to the report, 37 percent of the students needed remedial classes in math and 47 percent needed them in English, based on assessments after they were admitted. Some students needed classes in both subjects. The 2004 goal had been to lower the remedial levels to 26 percent for math and 22 percent for English.
