<p>I'm joining UT this fall for Pre-CS and I was wondering whether I need to take any placement tests. I heard that the Computer Proficiency test was for Business majors but I am not sure. Any help please?</p>

<p>You will have to take it but I'm not sure you have to take it at orientation (business majors can take it whenever). I'm taking the Writing test and unless you took AP Calc you have to take the Math placement test</p>

<p>I'm only taking the Computer Proficiency one, everything else I think I have covered by other exams.</p>

<p>Even if im not a business major do I need to take Comp proficiency? I have written SAT 2 for Math 1c and 2c and for physics. So do i have to take the math placement test? What other tests do I have to take?</p>

<p>You don't need to take the math if your score on the SAT was above 580 I think. As far as other tests go did you take any AP/IB exams?</p>

<p>I scored a 640 in Math 1c SAT 2. I didn't take any AP/IB exams.</p>

<p>Then depending on your major you might have to take some placement tests. Go to this site: </p>

<p>and read upon what requirements you need for what you want to major in.</p>
