Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

<p>i was wondering how hard the calculus placement test is and what i should study</p>

2

<p>Its basically algebra 2... basic stuff lots of exponent stuff. Like simplifying...I passed it, it doesn't have any calc in it.</p>

3

<p>does it contain a lot of trig</p>

4

<p>very basic stuff like finding angles.</p>

5

<p>Are there any restrictions on the types of calculators we can use?
For example can for use a Ti-89 for the test?</p>

6

<p>i think any type of calculators are fine. i used a ti-89 for the chem test.</p>

7

<p>Ah, Sweet thanks for the info.</p>

8

<p>what's the minimum score you can get and still place into calculus (math 2A)?</p>

9

<p>its probably like a C- which is like 70ish percent. My friend got 50's, she didn't pass, I got like 70's, i got it.</p>

10

<p>is the lowest class you can be placed into from this test 1a (precal)? i don't remember most of the precal stuff i learned over a year ago, so idk if i should bother aiming to get into 2a..</p>

11

<p>how long is the test?</p>

12

<p>one hour but you can leave if you finish early</p>

13

<p>if i took calculus through cal state fullerton do i need to take the calculus placement test cus for my major (bio) it says that i have to</p>

14

<p>Is the class you took UC transferable?</p>

15

<p>yeah i'm pretty sure. i should probably check that</p>

16

<p>These are the satisfactory levels for the calc test..</p>

<p>Topics Satisfactory Level
Exponents and Radicals 75%
Rational Expressions 80%
Linear Equations and Inequalities 70%
Functions 60%
Polynomials and Polynomial Functions 75%
Logarithms and Exponential Functions 75%
Trigonometry 60%
Geometric Applications 66%</p>

17

<p>i think you need about 70%-ish to be placed in 2A. i got 68% and it was a marginal pass so i can take 2A or 1B.</p>

18

<p>how many questions? and when will you know the result?</p>

19

<p>There are 40 questions and you have 60 minutes. The results are posted online at testingcenter.uci.edu about an hour after the test.</p>

<p>last year i took the calculus placement test also. My friend found this practice online test which really helped me. it is EXACTLY LIKE THE PLACEMENT TEST with only the numbers being different. </p>

<p>just practice with the online test and you will pass the placement test :D</p>
