Math placement

<p>So if you have taken calculus AB and BC (but not the ap test) and passed with a B or better do you still need to take a math placment exam to get into calculus? What is on the placement test? It has been a long while since doing the lower level kind of math.</p>

<p>For clarification purposes, I plan to re-take all of AB and BC.</p>

<p>Just got back from Summer Advising session 00 a couple of days ago.
To answer your first question, yes.
The math placement test is nothing to worry about though. It covers a little bit of pre-calculus, trig, but mostly algebra 2 stuff. And to pass the test, you only need to get 35/60 correct. I'm not going to advocate for you to not study though, since I don't want to be liable if anything doesn't go smoothly. If you do happen to fail the placement test, you have two options. The first is to take a "workload" math class in the fall (0 units) and it'll cover the math placement so you can take a math class of your choice starting winter quarter. The second and more preferred choice is to register for a math class (not workload) anyway and before the fall quarter starts, you must pass the math placement test then. Note that you get only two attempts for the fall quarter and the first is during Summer Advising. Hope this helps.</p>

hi! you really helped answer my question, lol? i'm just worried about the chem test and the foreign language one? how about those two? i totally forgot my chem and i can't cram that all over again in just one day! my SA is this wednesday!</p>

<p>I haven't take it since I do not plan to ever take chem, but you HAVE to pass it or else you WILL HAVE to take Workload Chem, a totally useless class that doesn't count towards graduation or anything. Same for MATH, though it is more lenient b/c there's workload, lvl 12 (kinda useless), 16abc, 17abc, and 21abc.</p>

<p>omgosh the math placement or any placement tests were soo frickin easy. don't feel intimidated at all just take them! review if you want but don't let yourself take workload in the end!</p>

<p>It is my understanding that if you are planning to earn a BA you have to take a foreign language placement test and must pass to avoid taking the workload class first. If you plan to earn a BS then you need to take chem but must first pass the test to avoid taking workload. Does anyone know if chem is a requirment for managerial economics?</p>
