Engineering Math Placement Exam

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Has anyone taken the engineering math placement exam and can give some details (specifically to place out of math 1910 and into math 1920). I might have to take the test depending on whether or not my transfer credit for calculus 2 (taken as a college course) is accepted. Is the test extensive? Unreasonable? Reasonable?</p>

<p>The website says this for 1910:
Topics include techniques of integration, finding areas and volumes by integration, exponential growth, partial fractions, infinite sequences and series, and power series.</p>

<p>Will the test only address these topics, or also easier topics (basic derivation, limits, essentially what was taught in AP Calc AB)?</p>

<p>All of the questions will be of the higher concepts, but each of those requires you to use more basic concepts.</p>

<p>The placement exams, I’ve heard, are Finals from the class in previous years.</p>

<p>hmm okay… :confused:
Do you have any information regarding transferring calculus 2 credit from another college? Is Cornell unlikely to accept such credit to replace MATH 1910</p>
