<p>They talked about a Math Placement Exam on Admit Day that I know I definitely still need to clear before figuring out what course to take when I start scheduling my classes during the summer. I was wondering if anybody knew how to do that…? Whether we can sign up for it online, what level of math the placement exam actually tests and all that other stuff. </p>
<p>Any info would be nice. Thanks. :]</p>
<p>If you scored a 3,4, or 5 in your AP calculus class you don't need to take the math placement test. Information on math placement tests is normally available sometime in May.</p>
<p>What are the policies for those who have taken Calculus 1 and 2 at a local community college? Do we have to take the placement test?</p>
<p>You must take the Math Placement Exam (MPE) before registering for a mathematics class at UCSD unless:</p>
<pre><code>* You have taken the Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus Exam and received a score of 2 or better(1); OR
* You have completed at least one quarter of college credit calculus that has been approximated by the UCSD Mathematics Department(2); OR
* You have received a score of 650 or better on the SATII Level 2C Mathematics Exam; OR
* You have received a score of 5 or better on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher-Level (HL) Mathematics Exam; OR
* You have received credit by means of a foreign exam (e.g., GCE).

<p>(1)If you took a calculus course in high school but did not take the AP Calculus Exam and did not receive college credit for the course you must take the MPE before registering for a UCSD math class.</p>
<p>(2)A precalculus course taken at either the high school or community college does not exempt you from the MPE. </p>
<p>I found the website for it, never mind. :]
If anybody needs it, it's <a href="http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/placement.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/placement.shtml</a></p>
<p>Oh, cool. I have two of the requirements down, so I'll probably be able to skip it at the school i'll attend. Thanks for the info.</p>
