Question on Math 3A/31A

<p>I found out for a pre psychobio major you have to take Mathematics 3A, 3B, and 3C, or 31A, 31B, and 32A. I checked the catalog for math 3A and it said Requisite: successful completion of Mathematics Diagnostic Test (score of 36 or better) or course 1 with a grade of C- or better. And for math 31A it said Requisite: successful completion of Mathematics Diagnostic Test or course 1 with a grade of C- or better. So one question is that can I take the Math Diagnostic Test at Orientation even thought if I didn't sign up for it? And if I do well on it then can I skip 3A-C and begin in 31A?</p>

<p>for psychobiology… you either do MATH3 Series or MATH 31 Series… it’s an either or, not both. </p>

<p>I suggest you do math3 series if you’re confident about being a life science major but if you’re having second thoughts… math 31 series are more transferable meaning it’ll be easier to switch majors</p>

<p>yes you do the diagnostic test during orientation. you dont have to sign up for it - they just tell you the hour/place during orientation and u have to be there to take it. I suggest taking a calculator cuz it helps a lot</p>

<p>You can still change/sign up for placement exams through my ucla.</p>

<p>thanks for the help y’all. so i guess i take the math test and i think about which series to take. and i wont forget to bring my TI-89 ;]</p>

<p>ONE MO QUESTION. I saw the AP credit page and it see that if you pass the calculus test with a certain score you get credit for MATH 31A. So does that mean if I got a 5 on the Calculus AB exam then I could skip 31A and begin with 31B?</p>
