<p>Seems like they just sent out the math diagnostic test to us.</p>
<p>Any clues as to what it's like? I'd just like to have an idea before I open it. (Obviously, nothing that the honor code would prohibit, but a hint toward the kinds of things that it entails.)</p>
<p>Its similar ( somewhat easier) to the free-response section on the AP calc BC test.</p>
<p>seeing as I have not officall accepted my spot I have not recieved this test but I was just curious how long of a test it is?</p>
<p>The email says 2 hours for part 1 and 90 minutes for part 2. I haven't opened it yet, so I can't say anything in terms of problems/pages.</p>
<p>ya understandable sounds good thank you</p>
<p>What is this email you speak of?</p>
<p>They send you an email giving you the website where you can find the diagnostic exam.</p>
<p>When do I get it?</p>
<p>You should've gotten it on Monday. If you haven't, which appears to be the case, you can email <a href="mailto:mathinfo@caltech.edu">mathinfo@caltech.edu</a> and ask about it.</p>
<p>halfthelaw, were you accepted off the waitlist? I haven't gotten it yet either, coming off the waitlist. (Granted, like cyprus, I haven't sent in my final confirmation yet).</p>
<p>my son didn't get the math diagnostic test yet - and he was accepted way back in December..he wants to wait a few days before calling or emailing..maybe they're not sending out the emails in one huge mass to avoid being marked as spam.</p>
<p>Yes, I suspect they might be staggering it.</p>
<p>Ok, I'll wait a few days. Not that I'd take another test before school is out anyway...
(And just for reference, I was not accepted off the waitlist.)</p>
<p>When do you have to have the test done by? I know my son would really like a bit of a break..he's just finished his math finals at UCB and soon he'll be having finals at his high school..ahh I guess there is no rest for the wicked! :)</p>
<p>The email says they have to receive it in their office by June 16.</p>
<p>!!! I better get mine soon then lol.</p>
<p>ok I know this doesn't quite belong here but I didn't want to create a new topic for a one word answer. Is there a physics placement exam (to be able to bypas the simple stuff like the math one) or is there just one to place out of the first classes?</p>
<p>Try looking here:</p>
<p>I got my packet in the mail today... w00t!
Although there's no English essay, so I'm assuming that comes later?</p>
<p>i got emailed about the english.. it said they were going to give us a reading next week i think and then we have to write an essay on it if i remember right</p>
