<p>I would assume so, since regular Econ & Econ/Math majors do. It wasn’t even that hard. =)</p>

<p>the exam is basically algebra and trig. thats it, and you can google the answers</p>

<p>According to the site above, Econ majors DO have to take the placement exam, but if they receive a score of 2 or higher on the AP Calculus exam, they are exempt.</p>

<p>it says there is a suggested time…but is it actually timed? im in Econ/Accounting as well.</p>

<p>i’m still kinda confused because i emailed this person here : <a href=“mailto:sheryl@math.ucsb.edu”>sheryl@math.ucsb.edu</a> asking if i needed to take the math placement test and she said “only if you plan to take math 3A in the fall.” Also, according to [Mathematics</a> Placement Examinations](<a href=“http://www.math.ucsb.edu/ugrad/placement.php]Mathematics”>http://www.math.ucsb.edu/ugrad/placement.php) the calc placement test is not required for those planning on taking Math 3A.</p>
