Abstract
Prior to taking a remedial course in Mathematics, first year students of an Apprentice Training Center were administered the T.A.M. (Analytical Mathematics Test) in the Fall of 1989. The mean scores for these students were slightly higher than for 6th form students, with a somewhat different score profile. However, a differential analysis within the sample shows that the weakest apprentices - like underachieving 6th form students - perform poorly on certain exercises corresponding to infralogical "prerequisites" (related to spatial organization) needed for the development of mathematical thinking. These observations make it possible to design specific remedial programs for apprentices, according to their test score level, and show that the T.A.M. is a useful tool on other than high-school students.
