<p>This is from the web site of the UCSD Mathematics Testing and Placement Office:
"You should complete the testing before going to your College Orientation. Test results may be available at your orientation."
How is it going to work if I attend a Revelle orientation June 18-19, and the first Math Placement test I find is 7-9pm on June 19?
Isnt the math class taken also dependent on AP Calc results which dont comeout till July? I understand that you dont have to take the placement test if you have a math SAT2 over 600 (which I barely do) but how does that help in knowing what class to aim for?
Should I even think about this before August?</p>
<p>If you didn’t AP into Math 10B/C or Math 20B/C because of your AP Calculus (AB/BC) score, then you are required to either take the math placement test, or fulfill it with some other test score (SAT II). </p>
<p>Your SAT II score shows that you’re proficient in Pre-Calculus (which that subject test tests you on)
“You have received a score of 600 or better to qualify for Math 10A, or 650 or better to qualify for Math 20A, on the SAT II Level 2 Mathematics Exam”</p>

<p>Anyway, since your AP scores don’t come out for a few months, don’t worry about the placement test yet. You can take it whenever (when you come to UCSD if needed)–and don’t worry about deciding which math class/sequence to take yet, since you won’t be registering until late August.</p>
<p>Do we have to inform them if we got a 650 or better on Math II?</p>
<p>^yeaa
'cause you already sent your SAT scores when u applied to UCSD XD
so they already have them on file :]</p>
<p>They must have known the questions were coming because I just got a long convoluted email about math placement from UCSD today. I do understand it and I’m not even a lawyer! I can still see how some slightly odd conflicts might arise. Your UCSD placement test might not agree with your AP score, for example. You might be recommended to take a class by UCSD test but not be able to take it for credit because of a high AP score…</p>
<p>^ That’s true.
I don’t know anyone who took the math placement test who took the AP Calculus Exam. All my friends who took the AP Exam at least passed–and I’m sure you’d know yourself if you passed/didn’t pass even before you get your results back. If you don’t think you passed, then you should consider taking the math placement test.</p>
