<p>just wondering if anybody has any info on this placement test? is the test based off of calculus ab material, or is it like a precalculus exam to deterimine which calculus class to place you in? i couldn't find any info on it so i apologize. also, do you guys recommend reviewing the material over summer before taking the exam, or is it something you can just wing it and pass? thanks for any info!</p>
<p>I took the placement test last year and was placed into Calc I or Math 2A. It did not have any real calculus. </p>
<p>It was all Alg 2, trig, and precalc. Its not about passing, its about which class you want to be placed in.</p>
<p>If you took AB already, I don’t think you have to take this test… but yeah you def should review concepts from precalc, trig & alg 2.</p>
<p>^ do we need to know matricies?</p>
<p>Its actually called a precalculus test. I don’t remember any matrices being on there.</p>
<p>How exactly is the online placement test going to work? Do we have to sign up for it?</p>
<p>Uhmm so i if i passed the CALC AB AP TEST with a 3, do i get college credit for it? Cas some schools don’t give it …right?</p>
<p>@starsfromabove,</p>
<p>You will get elective credit for a 3 on the Calc AB AP test. You will NOT receive credit for Math 2A (calc AB).</p>
<p>In other words, you will need to take Calc AB again, if it a requirement for you.</p>

<p>what’s elective credit?</p>
<p>Elective credit is credit for classes outside of the required credits for major/minor/GE.</p>
<p>We need 180 credits to graduate. A chunk of that is GE credits. Another portion is from your MAJOR. The rest is elective credits, assuming you do not have another major/minor.</p>
<p>calculus placement exam starts mid-july and it’s online only. so just wait til your AP scores come out and see if you’re exempt.</p>
<p>Um…so i took a course called math 150 and math 151 on my senior year…does this mean i dont have to take the placement test for calculus?</p>
<p>I’m taking a pre-calc class at a community college now. Do I still have to take the placement test?</p>
<p>@aixxru, math 150 and math 151 did you take them in a summer class in a college? And if so, did you check assist.org to make sure they qualify for math 2a/2b?</p>
<p>If the above are true, then why would you have to take a placement test for calculus? </p>
<p>@sg3x20, yes I believe you still do.</p>
<p>What percent do you need to be placed in Math 2a?</p>
<p>sg3, I received approx an 85% on it, and the last time I took precalc was 2 years prior to taking the test.</p>
<p>If you are currently taking pre-calc, this should be a breeze for you if you are doing fine right now in the class.</p>
<p>Yeah, its a piece of cake. 
Thanks!</p>
<p>Where do you go to take the Calc placement test?
I’ve been looking all over the placement test site and I cant find a link to take the online test. Help? :(</p>
<p>It’s still not out yet… Go to [UCI</a> Academic Testing Center](<a href=“http://www.testingoffice.uci.edu%5DUCI”>http://www.testingoffice.uci.edu)</p>
<p>@junshik: actually i took it in my school on my senior year, they offer that class here at my school thats why i took that instead of ap cal.</p>
