<p>I just took the Calculus II placement test (as recommended by the Engineering department). It has a two hour time limit and has thirty questions. I was confident in all of my answers except two (I just took the AP Calc AB test on Wednesday), yet I received a 22/30. This is still listed as an 'above average' score, but some of the questions seemed fishy to me and I was wondering if anyone else received lower scores than expected. It doesn't tell which questions are wrong, but I'm tempted to prod the test later on a question-by-question basis to find out which I got wrong.</p>
<p>If you got a 22/30, you’re probably ready for CalcII. I wouldn’t worry about the test’s correctness - I don’t think they even change it from semester to semester, really. If you feel like you might be able to take Calc3, I’d say go ahead and take that test too and see where you’re at.</p>
<p>What concerns me is not whether I’m ready for the class, but why I missed six questions whose answers I was confident in. I was just wondering if anyone else was suspicious of their score.</p>
<p>Oh ok, probably can’t help you then. I took it last year without any problems, but it may or may not have been the same test…</p>
<p>what did you use as your ID? I don’t have a student ID yet, and my SSN doesn’t fit, as it only allows 6 digits and SSNs are 9 digits…</p>

If you have decided to take the Readiness for Calculus II placement exam, then please enter the following information. For the ID number, use your WU Student ID number (or your SSN if you do not yet have a Student ID Number).</p>
<p>SSN won’t fit? that’s odd… i was pretty sure that was what I used last year… :?</p>
<p>Philip told me he called WashU, and (for anyone else who is reading this) you just make up a random 6 digit code, take the test, and get your score right away. You can look up your random number again if you forget to print out the recommendations in the score report for which Calc to take. It is up to the student to bring this with him to his adviser, and since scores are self-reported simply by printing out a sheet with your name on it, they expect you did not cheat in any way… After all, you’re only screwing yourself over if you cheat to get into a more difficult calc class.</p>
<p>If we’re in CAS and we took Calculus BC and score a 5, does that place us in Calc III?</p>
<p>nvm, found out that it does!</p>
