Hi, everyone. I’ll be a freshman at Penn this fall, and I was wondering if anyone could give advice about taking Math 104 or 114. I’m currently in BC, and I’m fairly confident about scoring a 5 on the exam. Although, I’d like to have more of a gradual adjustment to college in the fall, so I’ve been thinking about not taking the exam and taking 104 instead of 114. Could anyone give me some input about each class (curves, difficulty of material, etc.)? Thank you!

That should give you the information you need. I’d go straight into 114 if you get a 5 on BC, but it’s your call.
Thanks!
If you have a 5 on BC, then I think you will be bored in this class. I would recommend 114. It also has the added benefit that you will still get credit for 104.
