<p>I still don't understand which placement tests are "necessary". I know that everyone has to take the writing entry exam. But what do I do about math? I am in AP Calc AB right now and will be taking the exam soon and need a 4 or 5 to be exempt from taking the placement test...but the test isn't required so I'm really confused about being exempt... </p>
<p>So what do I do if I get a 1 on the exam and skip the placement test? Will the placement test be required then or can I just skip the test and enter into a lower math class?</p>
<p>Explanations?? .-.</p>
<p>only the writing one is necessary to place you into what lower division writing they think you belong in.</p>
<p>nothing else is really necessary. i went into uc irvine with only the writing placement. depending on your major and what classes you want to take, you’d have to take the placement test that corresponds. </p>

<p>the placement test is optional, and it lets you know which class you should be taking in college.</p>
<p>i believe to enroll in certain classes, you need to take a placement test and get a certain score.</p>
