<p>I wasn't able to take the math placement test on the assigned date because I already had made other plans that I couldn't get out from. Do you guys know when there is going to be another test and where I can sign up??</p>
<p>at orientation! =]</p>
<p>I can sign up for it at orientation, or do I have to do it before I go?</p>
<p>u sign up there</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>orrr do what im doing and take it during the school year before you actually take a math class. since im not take math until winter quarter, i dont want to get a better score than i actually should and end up in a class i cant follow.</p>
<p>well...the test is basically all algebra/pre-calc stuff. Unfortunately I'm pretty poor at that, despite me getting an A and B in calculus itself (didn't take the AP test)...so I took it, and got only 36ish or so, which didn't really matter for me as I hate math and my major only requires me to complete 11A and 11B ( requires a 33 score).</p>
<p>Anyways...the course was stupidly boring and easy (Math 11A). It consisted of algebra and pre-calc review ("to build a strong foundation"), and in the end it stops with derivatives, not even covering anti-derivatives, which I'm assuming is going to be covered at 11B. the professor also apparently emphasized that she is the most difficult Math 11A professor in the university...</p>
<p>You don't "lose" anything by taking it early, and from what I saw from my friends, 19A/19B (40 or higher on the test score), is the same thing as 11A/11B - derivatives for the A, and anti-derivatives for the B as its core, only more difficult. </p>
<p>Unless your highest math class taken at high school is Algebra II or is pre-calc/math analysis, I guess...</p>
<p>i still need to take the math placement exam too.
for psychology, i need to take PreCalculus. I am afraid if i take the placement exam and do poorly, i might have to do a preliminary math course and then precalculus.
is that possible?</p>
<p>what is the course number for precalculus? there's a pre-req for all the math courses I believe, so if the course is offered, and you do extremely, extremely, extremely badly on the math placement exam, then I guess you would need to take the pre-req to calculus...i believe the class is like "college algebra" or something, probably.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the math placement info page at the UCSC site:</p>

<p>Pre-calculus is Math 3</p>
<p>oh thank you. thats reallly helpful.
:D</p>
<p>is it me or were some problems just totally unnecessary?</p>
<p>pretty sure they call count. as far as i believe there's 60 questions, and your score is derived from just that alone.</p>
