Math placement

<p>Is it bad if you place into math 150 I know I'll be a semester behind but I think It'll be better personally to start there...</p>

<p>You’re fine.</p>

<p>My D is taking it for the first time right now. LOL - she’s talking out loud.</p>

<p>OK, so how do you know where you place? D took the placement exam, and it didn’t give her a score or tell her where she placed.</p>

<p>Weird, shoulda got her score immediately after she was done. If she goes to Howdy, My Records, and “View Test Scores” under “Grades and Transcripts”, she should see it there too.</p>

<p>Oh, ok, thanks!</p>

<p>Jes132, you know you can take it again in 30 days, right? You can take it 3 times.</p>

<p>Izelkay, hmmmm…nope. She doesn’t have those options under Records.</p>

<p>It’s okay though. She knows how many she missed. She’s going to study and take it again in a month. Close, but no cigar.</p>

<p>Her computer rebooted itself with 7 minutes left in the test! :-/</p>

<p>Ohh ok. Best of luck.</p>

<p>D said many of her friends took 150 even if they passed the test. Especially engineering students its a fairly difficult class</p>

<p>151 wasn’t difficult at all, so I’d imagine 150 would be a breeze. 152 is a different story altogether, though. If they took Calculus in high school (and passed the AP test), there’s really no reason why they shouldn’t start with 151.</p>

<p>D is in AP calculus AB now and doing fine. I think 150 would be mostly review. She plans on studying the material for BC over the summer a little on her own, just to make 151 easier…but those are just “plans” and “thoughts”. We’ll see how she does on the placement exam next month.</p>

<p>May have told you this already, but here’re the past exams for Math 151 if she’s interested in what her tests are going to be like:</p>

<p>Here’s Math 150 if she does end up going down that route:</p>

<p>Izelkay, I had seen you post that before, bit had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder! I am positive that will be helpful to her.</p>
