How hard is it to get a score of 3 on a stony brook university placement exam
What class will you get if you receive a 3 ?
Calculus I?
Is the exam really hard?
Do I have to take it if I take the CLASS AP Calculus but not the AP exam?
The math placement test is separated into different parts: algebra, precalc, and calculus. If you pass the algebra part of the test, your score will most likely be a 3 which will place you in MAT 123 (intro to calculus). You can opt to not take the exam if you do take the ap calc ab or bc exam, but you must score a 4 or 5. However, ap exam do not accurately evaluate your ability to do well in a college math course, so taking the placement exam is recommended.
Thank you!
