I need advice from anyone who has taken the TCDI accuplacer to test into Calc I, skipping precalculus.?

I am preparing to take the the accuplacer to skip precalc and test into Calculus I. I go to Pikes Peak Community College, and I believe that the accuplacer is called the TCDI. I took college algebra and got an A in the class, and I have been studying Trigonometry separately in my own time. I have to get an 82 percent on this placement test to get into Calc I, and I want to make sure that I have prepared for it properly. If anyone else has taken this or a similar accuplacer, can you please answer the following questions: 1. Does this test just test knowledge of precalculus, or does it require existing knowledge in calculus I as well? Also, what are some good places to visit online to prepare for this test?

    I just took it and got a 95% score. All I did was used an opensource online precalculus textbook and studied all the trig heavy chapters. It took two weeks studying all day on my off time, but I managed to shave a semester off of my degree by skipping precalculus.
