<p>lower than 30/40 + not so good on ap calc bc= pre calculus placement right?</p>
<p>I think you only get co-calc placement if you do poorly on the first 2-3 sections of the calc placement exam (the parts about algebra/trig). Even if you do get co-calc, you will still be in calculus first semester, you will just also take the co-calc mini course.</p>
<p>what is more important for calculus placement, your AP score or the result on the online placement test?</p>
<p>Did the co-calc criteria change? Last year (fall semester), everyone took a little quiz on the second day or so. The bottom 20-30 were placed in co-calc. I actually heard it was a good thing, because you get a nice GPA boost.</p>
<p>I don't see why people are so concerned about their calc placement. I purposely chose to go to the lower level calculus classes. But then I took Stat in 12th grade and did not have exposure to "real" math since 11th grade when I took AP Calc.</p>
<p>Both AP score and online placement test matter, but I would say the online placement matters more. The AP score thing is more like 'if you have a 4/5 on BC you are considered for two semesters of credit based on placement test score', so 4 and 5 become equivalent. This is the case assuming that credit is awarded like I think it was last year.</p>
<p>I think if you get a 5 on the BC Calc exam and a 32+ on the online placement, you can take calc in 3D. (This is coming from talking to other people in my 3D class last fall).</p>
<p>Well, the only pre-req for calc in 3D is 21-120, so you could be in second semester calc (21-122) and calc in 3D at the same time, if you wanted.</p>
