ab: Summary: Many developmental mathematics programs emphasize computational
    fluency with the assumption that this is a necessary contributor to
    student success in general studies mathematics. In an effort to
    determine which skills are most essential, scores on a computational
    fluency test were correlated with student success in general studies
    mathematics at Missouri Western State University. Correlations were
    statistically significant but substantially lower than expected,
    calling into question some key assumptions about the curriculum of
    developmental math programs.
