<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>Is it possible to completely skip math in your freshman year? According to the curriculum, the only math you need to take is Calc 1, so if you get a 5 on AP Calc BC, would you get credit for the class?
I'm a little confused because I got this letter saying that I had to go take a math test placement test for math freshman year, so I was wondering if you could skip.</p>
<p>Thanks for your responses!</p>
<p>You could take the credit for math, but I remember hearing from my pharm friends that they could only use one of their AP scores for credit. The most popular AP credit taken in pharm is for a full year of General Biology (8 credits), second to a full year of General Chemistry (7 credits). So most people would rather retake math as opposed to their science.</p>
<p>If you already have the 5 in Calc AB, I think you’d be allowed to skip the math placement (but it’ll take some more asking on your part - as in literally calling to ask). If you are still to take the exam in May, you will not be allowed to skip the math placement test. It’s really easy, anyways.</p>
<p>4 or 5 on the BC exam gets you out of math and you will not be able to get credit for any other class because the 4 or 5 got you out of calc 1 AND 2.</p>
<p>a 4 or 5 on the AB exam gets you out of calc 1 but places you in calc 2! so in order to completely get out of math freshman year you have to use BC credit and get out of 1 and 2, which equals the credit limit of 8 credits.</p>
<p>for placement testing, back then we could only get out of the english writing part but we had to take the math part no matter what. Don’t worry it’s easy.</p>
<p>if you do use credits, I suggest using bio credits. 2nd choice is chem (which is 8 credits) but you will still have to take chem lab (1 credit)</p>
