<p>Hi guys! I recently registered for orientation but I had no idea which placement tests I need to sign up to take. I think that I have credit for writing (I got a 4 on my AP Eng Lang and Comp and just took Lit today) but I have never taken an AP Math test. Does that mean I only need to be registered for the math placement test? </p>
<p>Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!!</p>
<p>The english placement test is usually done in your high school, not in UCLA. When I sign up the orientation, there was math, french placement test, and others (Spanish?). It was a radio button to make one selection, so I just ended up choosing Math Placement Test since I don’t know french and others. :]</p>

<p>You don’t need to take any English placement exams (as long as you’re not held for ESL by admissions), since you got a 4 on the AP English test.</p>
<p>But yes, you do need to take the math placement test if you’re going to be taking math courses (i.e. if you’re a science, math, or econ major, or if you’re thinking about minoring in math or something like that).</p>
<p>I was under the impression that if you got a 4 or 5 on ap calc ab or bc you needn’t take a math placement exam?</p>
<p>If you get a 5 on AB, or 4 or 5 on BC, you don’t have to take it, since you get credit for 31A and move directly into 31B.</p>
<p>uh what happens if u get a 5 on calc ab n decide to take the math placement test anyways n u do very poorly on it. do u still get to enroll in 31B</p>
<p>hi! I’m a potential poli sci major and I hate math :))) so do I need to take the math classes which can only be taken by passing the Math diagnostic test?</p>
<p>@Drakelbob: Even if you take the placement test and do poorly, you’ll still get credit for 31A with a 5 on the AB test, so you can still enroll in 31B</p>
<p>@Fromcalwithlove: If you’re not going to do any kind of science minor or anything with econ (which requires Math 31A and 31B), it’s not likely that you’ll have to take math.</p>
<p>Yeah!!! that’s good to know UCLA2014! thanks :))</p>
<p>if i signed up for placement tests (math/french) and I find out later that I don’t actually need to take them, can i just not show up to take them during orientation?</p>
<p>I think so. I know for math, they don’t really care… not sure about French. I would imagine that it’s not a big deal; just let your Orientation Counselor know when you get there.</p>
<p>Or you could call in to the Orientation office (310 206 6685) and just let them know you don’t want to take it.</p>
