<p>I took Calc BC in high school and got an A one semester and a B the next semester (more laziness and not doing hw than anything). Should I take Math 114 or 104?</p>
<p>Go 114 probably, joyous-fecal-matter</p>
<p>114...104 is ridiculous. it's full of smart kids who think they're taking the easy way out and end up being screwed by the curve.</p>
<p>don't you need to get a 5 on the exam to skip to 114?</p>
<p>yes, a 5 is required on the calc bc exam to receive automatic credit for math 104.</p>
<p>Actually, it's not. The math dept gives retroactive credit for 104 if you take 114 and get a grade of C or better. </p>
<p>(See the Mathematics section at <a href="http://www.seas.upenn.edu/be/undergrad/curriculum/ap/%5B/url%5D">http://www.seas.upenn.edu/be/undergrad/curriculum/ap/</a>)</p>
<p>well, i was referring to automatic credit awarded at entry (not after first semester), but yes, this works too.</p>
<p>I wish I had been told about the retroactive credit, otherwise I could have saved myself some time taking 114. Damn it!</p>
<p>ugh. doesn't the retroactive credit only apply for BE students?</p>
<p>114 is ridiculously easy...take it.</p>
<p>well. not everyone wants to could unless they're in BE.</p>
<p>On a similar note, I took Multivariable Calc. last year in high school; should I bother taking the placement exam for 114 and move on to a higher-level course (presumably 240)?</p>
<p>Yes. You should.</p>
