<p>All right, everyone, I'll try to make this short and sweet. Thanks in advance for your assistance!</p>
<p>These are the classes I KNOW I'm going to take next year, for the first quarter:
Honors Humanities Core: 8 units
Social Science 1A: 4 units
...plus a freshman seminar on earthquakes, for one unit.</p>
<p>Now then... A CHP student suggested yesterday at the advising session that I take Social Science 10A in addition to the above classes, since I received a 4 on the AP Statistics exam and the subject is still fresh in my mind. Nevertheless, I didn't realize that concurrent enrollment in Social Science 3A is required to take 10A. My question thus is, what should I take instead of 10A? I've considered as well the possibility of taking 3A for the first quarter, but I don't know if that's the best option. Advice?</p>
<p>Note: Of course, I'd love all the help I can get, but it'll be especially beneficial to me if you're a CHP student and/or Social Science major, as I am. Much thanks! :)</p>
<p>I'm a CHPer and social sciencer. I took ap calc in high school so that got rid od math 2a and then I had to take math 2b and math 7 at uci and then I was done with the math requirement. You can take math 2a, math 2b, and math 7 instead of the stats series and in my opinion it will be easier. Plus, you already have AP stats out of the way which should get rid of math 7 so you'd only need to take math 2a and 2b and then you'd be set. Now, this is all based on them having the same system as two years ago where the math 2a, 2b, and 7 would could substitute for the 10 series. Email a counselor about this.</p>
<p>Yes, I emailed Ryan Lombardini about this, and he was very helpful. As far as calculus goes, though, do you think I'd be behind in Math 2A having only taken precalculus as a junior, then AP Statistics the year after? I'd like to take Math 2A and Math 2B, but I'm a bit worried that I won't be successful in either; I haven't been in a "serious" math course since, as mentioned, my junior year of high school.</p>
<p>Well I don't know how you are exactly at math but I can tell you my experience. I took ap calc in high school (senior year), the one that only covers the first semester not the bc calc. I got a 4 on it. That got rid of math 2a so I just started at math 2b and the first 6 weeks of math 2b was complete review as well. I don't think you should worry too much about it and just take math 2a and 2b and then you'll be done. IMO it really isn't that hard and it will be less work and easier than taking three quarters of the 10 series.</p>
<p>Thanks, yackityack :-). What you said makes sense, and, to be honest, I'm strongly considering taking 2A and 2B. Nevertheless, I'm still a bit worried, as mentioned, about falling behind. I could have taken AP Calculus in high school, but opted out of it -- hence, I've skipped a whole year of serious math. Still, it is my decision in the end, and you've been more than helpful in giving advice :-).</p>
<p>Since I took precalculus in high school, would I still have to take the precalc placement test to get into Math 2A? Would it be wise to take Math 1A and Math 1B, for review?</p>
<p>To get into Math 2A you need to take the placement test. I don't recommend taking Math 1A or 1B. I think you'll find it too easy. Even if you've never taken calculus before, they start from the beginning.</p>
<p>In my opinion, taking classes for review is a waste of time and money.</p>
