Testing into EECS 280 freshman year

Hi! I will be an incoming freshman that will start at UMich in the fall.

I heard that you can go straight into EECS 280 without taking EECS 183/ENGR101/ENGR151 by filling out a form and creating a program.

How hard is it to test out? I have 6+ years of programming experience and I have done research with c++ in a computer simulation lab at a local university. I feel pretty confident with my coding skills. However, I haven’t taken any “formal” programming courses (mostly because the courses in my school only teach simple java and are really boring). Will I still be able to test out?

Thanks!

If you have have used C++ in such a research setting, you probably will be able to “test out”.
