<p>you can take either one. </p>
<p>the choice should be up to you -- how much you like math, how well you've done in the past, whether there's the smallest chance you could pick another major/interest that requires additional math, etc.</p>
<p>not knowing your exact predicament, i wouldn't suggest one above the other.</p>
<p>you're premed, so you're primary concern is attaining a high gpa. the math 10 series is easier and thus more conducive to attaining a high gpa. your major requires only the 10 series. as such, I think you should take the 10 series.</p>
<p>you'll have people who tell you "well lol what happens if those premed plans dont pan out lol then what omg fail or wat if he decides to switch to a major that requires the 20 series lol pwnt" well in that case you could just switch over to the 20 series later. yeah you would only be taking it for 2 units per class but really, it's not that big a deal and think of it this way, what happens if you take the 20 series and do poorly when you didn't even need it oh wow who's on the **** end of the stick now huh bet you wish you "wussed" out and took the 10 series instead!</p>
<p>so yeah, christ just take the 10 series already lol</p>
<p>has anyone gone from 10C to 20B? i want to take a year of calculus and assuming i get my ap credits i would be only taking a quarter(trimester?). if anyone has is it hard to catch up on what you missed from 20A or would it be a fairly easy transition saying i got like a 4 or 5 on the AP test?</p>
<p>uh, why would you want to do that? 10C covers a majority of the material in 20C, so by skipping even further back to 20B ... well ... I have no idea why'd you want to do that. If it's a year of math you need, just a) withhold your AP scores and start over in 10A/20A or b) go take some math electives that interest you.</p>
<p>those who score 4s or 5s on the calc AB test should have no problem making a seamless transition into math 20B. </p>
<p>and they're called 'quarters' -- not trimesters -- here.</p>
<p>ok. now i know this question may depend on the student, but is chem 6ah worth taking for someone who scored a 5 on the ap test, or is it just unnecessarily hard? </p>
<p>does it provide any distinct benefit over chem 6 when it comes to taking the mcat?</p>
<p>if you got a 5 on the ap chem exam, there is NO POINT in taking 6ah. you won't get any credit for it. you can start at 6bh or 140a, your choice.</p>
<p>as for MCATs, the gen chem that's tested was already covered in AP chem. if you were good enough to get a 5 and have a decent memory, you're already set for that portion of the test.</p>
<p>if you don't get credit for something, does that mean the grade you earn won't be factored in your GPA, or does it simply mean that you won't get additional credits?</p>
<p>it means both</p>
