<p>I am an incoming EE freshman in HSSEAS. Assuming I get a 5 on the AP Calculus BC test, should I enroll in 31B or 32A? I have seen some places that Engineering only gives credit for 31A for a 5 on BC, but other places say everyone gets into 32A with 5 on BC. </p>
<p>My high school only offered AP Calculus AB, so I had to teach myself series, which I still cannot confidently say I understand. With this in mind, even if I CAN skip 31B, SHOULD I?</p>
<p>if you get a 5 on bc then i think you HAVE to take 32a</p>
<p>but then [AP</a> Credit - School of Engineering and Applied Science - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditEN.htm]AP”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditEN.htm) says 5 on BC only gives credit for 31A. On the other hand, [UCLA</a> Department of Mathematics](<a href=“Undergraduate Program | UCLA Department of Mathematics”>Undergraduate Program | UCLA Department of Mathematics) says everyone gets credit for 31A an 31B for a 5 on BC. See what I mean about conflicting information?</p>
<p>maybe that’s a typo on the engineering website. 31a and 31b is pretty much calc bc so getting a 5 should automatically place you at 32a (multivariable calc).</p>
<p>You can (and should) skip math 31a and 31b.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Don’t ever let any chance to skip a class go.</p>
<p>I don’t recall needing knowledge of series for either 32A or 32B. I did the same thing learning the BC material on my own (and I compressed infinite series into the 2 nights before the test), and it hasn’t really been a problem yet.</p>
<p>thanks all</p>
<p>can anyone confirm that engineering majors can get out of 31A and 31B with a 5 on Calculus BC? how about a 4 or a 5 AB subscore?</p>
<p>yes i got out of 31A and 31B with a 5 on BC as a bioE major</p>
<p>i dont know if the AB subscore affects anything at all</p>
