<p>Does anyone know how I should prepare for the Spanish placement test and the math placement test?</p>
<p>for spanish, you should just basically review all the tenses. there's not really much difficult vocab; most of the test was on the different tenses, like imperfect subjunctive, the difference between preterite and imperfect, present and past perfect, etc. there's also a little reading comprehension, but not that much.</p>
<p>i have no idea about math since i didn't have to take it. i've just heard that it's relatively easy but it's timed.</p>
<p>wow, thanks. Are you a Biological Science major? I read somewhere that I could be exempt from the math placement if I took calc in high school with at least a B, but then it said if I wanted to take general chemistry and physics, then it is required I take it.</p>
<p>I took the math placement test because I wasn't sure if they would see a B- as the same as a B or not. I thought it was really easy and got only 1 wrong, but at orientation a lot of people thought it was super hard. So who knows... pretty much depends on the person. There was a lot of trigonometry, which I'm not a huge fan of. You should just review the unit circle and formulas and stuff.</p>
<p>savoytruffle: yeah, you're exempt from the math placement if you got at least a B in school, so you can just start with calc I at sc. i actually was a bio major, but at orientation i decided to switch to neurosci. i'm also pre-med tho, which i think makes things a little different. for example, my advisor told me that it's not necessary that for neurosci we take physics, but it's recommended for pre-med, so i'm taking it anyways. i'm not 100% positive, but i don't think it's REQUIRED that you take chem and phys.. people who got AP scores of 4 or 5 on them might choose to waive the classes if they want. this would be a good question to ask your advisor at orientation :]</p>
<p>thanks you guys :)</p>
