Calc Placement Exams

<p>Are we allowed to use formula sheets for the placement exams? Bc there's no way I can pass the readiness for Calc III without them.</p>

<p>well, since its online, I don't think anybody can stop you from using the formula sheets. :)</p>

<p>And I agree with you, it is going to a headache if college do expect us to remember all those equations.</p>

<p>There aren't all that many formulas. You couldn't use formulas on the AP, but I don't see any statement that you cannot use any formulas on the placement test.</p>

<p>well, i just received a reply from a person in the math department that said we can't. That's just great.</p>

<p>once again, how will they really know? I personally took Calc 3 and Linear Algebra this year, so Calc 1 and 2 are so far in the past... some of that stuff is like 2 years old... this might become a problem.</p>

<p>Well...here is my little problem. My school didn't offer Calc BC, but I needed to take it for Math HL for IB-bc I didn't want to take Spanish HL. So, my parents paid for a course with Northwestern a year ago-ages ago. Then, my spanish teacher somehow roped me into taking Spanish HL, while still taking Math HL-so that was totally pointless.<br>
Anyways, I think the wisest thing for me to do is attempt the placement test thing "by the rules"...and i will most definitely not pass. So I'll just take half a year of Calc 2 like most freshmen do anyways, and it'll just be a nice review, and i'll get a good grade.</p>

<p>I took the Calc III placement exam yesterday. I took BC Calc this year and I got a 24/30, which said I would be in math 233. If you took AB do Calc II, if you took BC take calc III</p>

<p>Yeah, on the page with the three sample questions (at least for Calc II readiness) they tell you what calculators you can use and how you can't use other stuff and how it would be a breach of the academic integrity policy if you did it. I did pretty well... 27/30, but there was some stuff we didn't cover and that you might not have covered if you were just taking a course covering the AB AP test material (Newton's Method, etc.).</p>
