<p>since you received a 4 and get out of calc and Math 31A you don't need to take it. </p>

<p>off orientation website:</p>

<p>"MATH DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION </p>

<p>Students planning to enroll in Math 1, 3A, or 31A for Fall Quarter must take the departmental diagnostic examination."</p>

<p>even i plan on majoring in econ?</p>

<p>hmm...i think you're still exempt from the examination even if you're an econ major, but i'm not sure. This website may help

<p>you can jump straight into Math 31B (the next level of calc). this goes for everyone, including econ majors.</p>

<p>it says that for econ majors 31a is a requirement...if i passed calc ab with a 4 and therefore waive 31a did i satisfy that? THANKS</p>

<p>Yes. It's the same thing with Electrical Engineering(or all engineering majors for that matter). Math 31a is a requirement, but since i got a 5 on Calc AB i'll go directly into math 31B. Getting a 4 or 5 satisfies the requirement for this major. And like Electrical Engineering your 4 will satisfy the Math 31A that is required for your major (economics). So you can go directly into Math 31B.</p>

<p>hey what happens if you get a 3 of the AP calc exam and your not a math major? should u go to 31B with the diagnositc test or stick with 31A without it?</p>

<p>does your major require math (besides statistics)? if so, then you can go straight to 31B. the diagnostic really has a maximum placement of 31A, so only if you feel not confident about your calc score should you take the diagnostic to place yourself in 31A. i think if you dont take it and you have to take math, you'll be only allowed to enroll in 31B. </p>

<p>if your major doesnt require math, then you're done.</p>
