Important Question for the Math Placement Test

<p>Hello. TO my understanding, the math placement test is online. If I do well, could I place out of Calculus? Also, does anyone have ANY idea (I'm having trouble finding info on the website) if I go into pre-med (lets say I major in Biology... nothing that has a lot to do with math like engineering or something lol), how many math credits are needed? Could i actually test out of Calculus and be completely done with math? Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that the test only goes up to precalc. The test is only used to additionally gauge your math prowess. Also, if you took the calc AP, I;m pretty sure that you can get credit. I have no idea how many credits are needed, but it shouldn’t be too bad. Premed students usually do take a good amount of math though, there is a good association between math and sciences.</p>

<p>Technically speaking LSA students are not required to take any math classes, unless it is a requirement for your major.</p>

<p>The placement test is to assess whether you are prepared for Calc I or if you should take a pre-calc class. It will not place you out of Calc I or any other calculus class. It is designed to look for students who may need extra help.</p>

<p>Thanks for you responses. I chatted online on AA’s website, and the lady said it can place you out of calculus, but idk if she actually knows what she is talking about lol since I got two answers saying otherwise. I tried looking if math classes were required for science majors (like biology) but could not find any info. Any idea guys?</p>

<p>I’ll be ecstatic if I don’t have to take any math classes in college haha</p>

<p>For Biology you need up to Calc 2.</p>
