Minnesota juniors are studying up for a state-mandated math test. They're the first to take the exam under a new set of standards, and if they don't pass, they won't graduate.
Many students will tell you, math is either their best subject or their worst.
"Fractions, factoring, graphs, min and max, and all that other fun stuff," Luverne junior Stetson Gath said.
Next month, all juniors in Minnesota will take a state-mandated math test and must pass in order to graduate. Luverne students are feeling the pressure.

A proposal to give Minnesota students their high school diplomas even if they fail graduation tests got its first legislative green light today.
The bill, which allows students to graduate in the next three years without passing the tests, was approved in the House K-12 Education Policy and Oversight Committee.
There are a few caveats. Students can graduate only if they get remediation, retake a test at least twice, and meet other graduation requirements.
