Does Math 16A prepare you for Math 1B by any means?

<p>Since they're both calculus-base, does 16A prepare you for 1B by any means? Or are they totally two different course and can't be linked together?</p>

<p>Wondering the same thing because I got a 5 on the AP Calc AB test and I want to take 16A to review and not struggle as much first semester and possibly take 1B second semester.</p>

<p>Math 1B requires Math 1A or equivalent, not Math 16A. Here are the course outlines:</p>

<p>[Math</a> 1A - UC Berkeley Department of Mathematics](<a href=“http://math.berkeley.edu/courses_lowerdivcourses_math1A.html]Math”>http://math.berkeley.edu/courses_lowerdivcourses_math1A.html)
[Math</a> 16A - UC Berkeley Department of Mathematics](<a href=“http://math.berkeley.edu/courses_lowerdivcourses_math16A.html]Math”>http://math.berkeley.edu/courses_lowerdivcourses_math16A.html)</p>

<p>5 on AP Calculus AB => you are probably ready for Math 1B</p>
