BSP 2000 classes are free brush-up classes for students who have been out of school for awhile or students who simply need to review skills to improve their score on the college placement tests.  

Seventy percent of the students who took the placement test who placed into developmental classes prior to taking BSP 2000 placed out of one or more developmental class.  BSP 2000 is not designed to take the place of developmental classes and those who need developmental studies are not recommended for BSP 2000.  The class is a review for students who have had the material in the past and need some brush-up.
