Can I still take Physics 6 series if I pass AP Calc AB?

<p>I'm considering medical school and want to do Physics 6A, 6B, 6C instead of 1A, 1B, 1C, 4AL, 4BL because it requires less math and, well, less classes than the 1 series.</p>

<p>But one of the requisites for Physics 6A is Math 3A and I got a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam giving me credit for Math 31A.</p>

<p>Do I have to take Math 3A to take the Physics 6 series? If I take Math 3A I won't get credit for it since I already have credit in the 30 sequence.</p>

<p>Or can I take the Physics 6 series without Math 3A?</p>

<p>I'm really confused because the UCLA</a> Department of Mathematics website does say I can take Math 3B and 3C (requisites for Physics 6 series) since I got a 5 on the AP Calc AB test.</p>

<p>You don’t need to take 3A, you just need the credit for it to take Physics 6A. You would take 3B and 3C and take Physics. I think 3C is a co-requisite so you need to at least be enrolled in it during Physics if you haven’t already taken it.</p>

<p>How do I get credit for 3A without taking it?</p>

4

<p>I think your AP might cover for it? You should check the math department website to check</p>

<p>Passing out of a class means getting credit for the class without taking it.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can take the Physics 6 series with your AP math credit.</p>

<p>You need 3A AND 3B, AND you have to take it the same time as 3C.

<p>The math department website says I can move on to Math 31B and/or 3B ([UCLA</a> Department of Mathematics](<a href=“Undergraduate Program | UCLA Department of Mathematics”>Undergraduate Program | UCLA Department of Mathematics)). Does that mean I passed out of 3A?</p>

<p>After I take 3B, I can take Physics 6A with Math 3C right?</p>

<p>Yes you passed out of 3A and have credit for it. Yes you can take 6A with 3C.</p>
