<p>Besides, the 18.02 placement exam during orientation was multiple choice, about 15 questions. It was pretty trivially easy if you had every had multivariable before. We had three hours to do it, and I and most of my friends were in and out in less than 45 minutes.</p>

<p>What do you think? Is it true?</p>

<p>Probably. I'm taking MV this semester and really, I've heard you learn a lot of the same stuff regardless of where it is. I mean, if you covered general multivariable calc. topics and know how to use them, I can see how it'd be easily possible to test out of multivariable at a top tier college.</p>

<p>I'd also like to know more about the 18.02 placement exam, as I plan on taking it.</p>
