<p>Yah, random wrongness. Identities still hold, even with log functions.</p>
<p>hey bzzzt are you allowed to take language the first year?</p>
<p>Yes, if you can justify it. It does mean you double up Physics and Chemistry your yuk year.</p>
<p>what are the most redmedial classes you can take your plebe year?</p>
<p>Getting a 5 on AP Calc doesn't get you out of math. A cadet I am familiar with did same and thought the placement test was easy during Beast---that cadet was placed in adv calc both semesters.</p>
<p>I don't know that there are many remedial classes besides math...most of it is just sink or swim at the standard level. If you rock out the placement tests and don't manage to test out, you're just in advanced.</p>
<p>Is there any advantage to being in advanced classes? Any GPA boost for validating like in the high schools back home? I'm questioning whether it would be best to stay in standard classes and get stellar grades or take the most difficult classes possible and risk B ish or even C lvl grades. I mean, class ranking is part of my question here, as I'd hate to find out because I got a B in advanced cal, someone else who took the normal class and got an A was ranked higher.</p>
<p>Nothing comes from taking the advanced versions of the class, other than a fuller understanding of the concepts. You cover more material, but there isn't a corresponding GPA boost. However, by validating the class, you can move on to other requirements and open your schedule up for more interesting classes later on. I haven't a clue how this plays out in grad school, if they check and see if you took the most challenging classes available at your college.</p>
