<p>Grrr I didn't get a 5 on the AP calc test. Does anyone know if a 4 is generally accepted for credit at most universities?? I'm so mad right now!!!! How did you guys do? I think what owned me was that f-ing free response!!!</p>
<p>unfortunately, you're only good enough for a community college.sorry. :/</p>
<p>OMG! A 4 IS PLENTY TO GET CREDIT. There is little difference other than bragging rights between a 4 and a 5. At some schools a 5 just eliminates a slightly higher level class (Chem 8) instead of a 4's Chem 6. Guess what? You only need to take a 6 or higher to pass the needed credit. The 3 is beginning to get phased out of the more top-tier schools, USC for example.</p>
<p>On second thought, how the f did you mess up the Calc test. My bro said it was ridiculously easy. Just kidding, but he did say it was uber easy ;)</p>
<p>BC or AB. If it's BC, you will probably get enough credit for any non-science or math major.</p>
<p>I got a 4 on Calculus AB and I'm getting credit for the Calculus class for science and engineering majors. You should be fine.</p>
<p>got 4 on BC-don't like half of the test takers get 5s? do i just suck or what? and is a 5 on AB subscore looked upon by colleges the same way as a 5 on the AB test?</p>
<p>a 3 is passing, so you did fine, stop worrying and go out, its friday</p>
<p>OMG...ME TOO i GOT A 4. I'm pretty disappointed too. =/
I wanted a 5.
What sucks is that i thought calc was easier.
=[</p>
<p>Depends on the school, but from what I've found, a 5 on the AB test; 4 or 5 on the BC test.</p>
<p>Maybe i am wrong but I think even MIT sometime gives credit for a 4 on BC. BC must be pretty hard then.</p>
<p>i doubt MIT gives credit for a 4 on BC because Penn doesn't. The only AP Test you can get credit for a 4 is Spanish here.</p>
<p>yay for UCI!</p>
<p>Accepts everything!!!, even a 3 on BC</p>
<p>^^ For real?!?! Damn, I might go there, that is, if I get in. :P</p>
<p>If you wanted to get a 5 so damn bad, you should have studied more.</p>
<p>werd (10 char)</p>
<p>Actually, from MIT:</p>

For a score of 4 or 5 on the BC Calculus examination, credit is given for 12 units of subject 18.01 Calculus I. For scores lower than 4, no credit is given.

<p>No credit is given for AP calc AB, though. Penn's AP policies are simply crazy.</p>
<p>Honestly, for some of those, a 4 is impressive.</p>
<p>4 must be hard to get. Even though like 40% get 5's, the people who take the BC exam are usually really good at math. I am taking the BC exam next year. I took the AB this year, still waiting for scores.</p>
<p>"Maybe i am wrong but I think even MIT sometime gives credit for a 4 on BC. BC must be pretty hard then."</p>
<p>it really isn't THAT hard. i took an online class because my HS didn't offer BC calc and got a 5. furthermore, two of my friends only took AB calc but wanted to try the BC test so i tutored them for two weeks prior to the test and they both got 5s. (of course, this was 3 years ago)</p>
<p>i think the big thing in calculus is knowing the bigger picture. the concepts should be intuitive and i think on tests like the AP and such they are looking for a profound understanding... only they've assigned a point metric to it to make it quantitative. rather than memorize formulas...they should just make sense.</p>
<p>i only really started to understand stuff like fourier transforms and stuff in college when i took signals and systems engineering. before, you thought that a taylor series was quite random with the power and factorial notation but think about it... try taking the derivative or integral of a generic taylor series... AMAZING!</p>
<p>All I need is a 4 and then I can take Multivariable in the fall of my senior year, and nobody will care what I got.</p>
<p>will ppl make fun of an azn who gets a 4 on the BC?
does it seem like everyone in your class is getting 5s?</p>
