<p>if i passed the ap exam for ap calc ab and bc, do i still have to take math 1B or does my ap exam score cover it and i can go into math 53 and 54?</p>
<p>passing is not enough. you need a 5 on the calc BC exam to skip math 1B.</p>
<p>thankx, i got a 5 on the bc exam :)</p>
<p>if i get accepted, will cal kick me out if i don't take the AP biology test?</p>
<p>If I get a 5 on the BC test, should I skip 1A and 1B (jump to 53)? I hear that 1A is a GPA-raiser, but that 1B is the complete opposite. Is this true?</p>
<p>1B is a weeder course for all the science majors, it's really hard, so suggest u don't take it</p>
<p>...and one more thing. I'll have AP credit for foreign languages, but I hear that CoE doesn't count that for its required humanities courses. So although my AP credit is thus meaningless there, is it just that CoE doesn't give credit for AP languages, or do they just not give credit for any language courses (taken as a college student) at all? And if they do count language courses (but not the AP credit), what is considered to be an upper division language course?</p>
<p>As you can see, I really want to get my humanities out of the way.</p>
<p>language courses must have something to do with the culture/literature of that nation as well, not just the spoken language. I don't think any AP language credit can cover that needed for CoE (although I could be wrong. coe.berkeley.edu should have the accurate information)
upper division language course is just any language course with a course number between 100 and 199
2-digit course numbers = lower div, 100-199 = upper div, 200-299 = graduate.</p>
<p>I signed up for AP spanish on my application but never took it. they didn't seem to care</p>
<p>Looking at: <a href="http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/current_students/hssreq.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/current_students/hssreq.pdf</a>

Students must complete both parts of the College of Engineering Reading and Composition requirement for a letter grade.
Once enrolled, these courses must be taken at UC Berkeley

Later on, it gives a list of courses that satisfy A and B halves of the R&C requirement. Does that really mean that I can take Italian R5A and R5B and not have to take any other R&C courses? Does that get me out of English courses for the rest of my life (except for any required technical writing ones)?</p>
<p>Then on the last page of that PDF it says:
[quote]
The College of Engineering does NOT accept language courses in fulfillment of its humanities/social studies requirement. Courses
approved in foreign language are actually LITERATURE, HISTORY, OR CULTURE courses. Advanced Language courses using literature
emphasizing vocabulary, syntax, grammar, etc., of that language are not approved.
[/quote]
...but there are several language courses listed below. Are those course allowed? not allowed? or do I have to check each one and see if it's a culture course?</p>
<p>Any course numbered R?A fulfills the first half of the R&C requirement.
Any course numbered R?B fulfills the second half of the R&C requirement along with weird classes like Ling R6 & History R1 (if its offered).</p>
<p>Taking any mixture of R?A and R?B courses will fulfill the English requirement. So taking the Italian R5 series would fulfill R&C though you best like reading Italian literature in translation.</p>
<p>I recommend the German R5 series. My R5B class does close to nothing.</p>
<p>to SQL...
CoE does accept ap credits for english, but it does not accept any credit for foreign languages but u could take them for fun...lol... CoE requires 6 humanity courses for any undergrad engineering student, including 2 english composition courses (a score of 4 or above on either the language or lit test would satisfy the 1st english comp course, but the 1st one only), u have to take the 2nd one @ berkeley once u enroll or from community college before registration @ berkeley. and also, foreign language does not count as humanities!!! u could choose the other 4 humanities courses besides english on a list made by CoE. peace...</p>
