Entrance Examinations?

<p>I was wondering if there were any entrance exams when transferring to gs? Like a writing or math exam that is not related to the gsae, but for class placement. I have already taken plenty of math and writing courses, just wanted to check if they still test you on it so that I can be prepared.</p>

<p>There are a few, from what I understand only one of them is necessary (Quantitative Reasoning if you scored less than 600 on the SAT’s). </p>

<p>I’ve also heard you can take these during orientation on August 29th.</p>

<p>when i spoke to the econ department they said that with pre-calculus (im taking that right now) i should be able to enroll into calc 1 in the fall.</p>

<p>maybe the test is for those who’ve completed the requirement (are not seeking further mathematics) and they want to make sure thats the case.</p>

<p>Thanks for the heads up guys. Looks like I have to study again… Is there any recommended books, websites, etc I can go to for some of these, I dont think I have ever taken a course in logic.</p>

<p>Yeah it sounds like if you score less than 600 and you’ve, in terms of previous coursework, completed the quantitative reasoning requirement of the core, they want to verify via a test. I dont think if you’re entering into a math heavy major (financial economics for example) you have to take it if you’re currently working on mathematics courses – u’d simply follow the track your on.</p>

<p>Don’t quote me though, but my speculation, to me, makes sense</p>
