Math Placement Exam

<p>Do I have to take the Math Placement Exam?</p>

<p>I took “Math 150-151” (official title - Calculus and Analytical Geometry) this year through a community college accelerated learning program at my high school. The course covers about the same stuff as AP Calc AB/BC (link to the student learning outcomes - [San</a> Diego Mesa College: Accelerated College Program](<a href=“http://www.sdmesa.edu/acp/math150.cfm]San”>http://www.sdmesa.edu/acp/math150.cfm), [San</a> Diego Mesa College: Accelerated College Program](<a href=“http://www.sdmesa.edu/acp/math151.cfm]San”>http://www.sdmesa.edu/acp/math151.cfm)). So I figured the precalculus placement exam at the orientation I’m attending next week would be waived.</p>

<p>But…the UC Davis website ([UC</a> Davis Orientation - Freshmen Placement Tests](<a href=“http://orientation.ucdavis.edu/freshmen/placementtests.html]UC”>http://orientation.ucdavis.edu/freshmen/placementtests.html)) only mentions waiving for students who scored a) a 4/5 on AP Calc AB, b) a 3/4/5 on AP Calc BC, or c) a 700 on the SAT Reasoning or Subject tests - nothing about community college courses. I didn’t take the AP exam, and my SAT scores aren’t high enough for the waive. </p>

<p>So should I bust out the calc notes and start studying? Or am I probably covered?</p>

<p>I'd recommend bringing information regarding the course with you to Orientation. They might be able to answer your question there.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info.</p>
