UCB math requirement?

<p>Okay my community college requires me to take Statistics (Math 136) and Calculus and Analytic Geometry (Math 103)</p>

<p>I took the Intermediate Algebra placement test and got enrolled into classes including Statistics, but I decided to take the Pre-Calculus placement test (since I am taking Pre-Cal in high school) so I can start college at Calculus instead of something lower.</p>

<p>But since I say that you need Statistics should I still take the placement test?</p>

<p>I dont think you should have to take a lower class if your enrolled in a higher one.</p>

<p>Plus I looked at my school's math sequence and it show classes such as Col. Alg., Pre-Calc., and Trig which all have a line going down to Calculus 1, but classes such at statistics stop at the graph and have no line going down to Calculus 1. Is that an issue?</p>

<p>You still have to take Statistics even if you place into Calculus 1 or Calculus 2. The two math courses involve totally different concepts. Some majors require that the students take Statistics, normally majors in Letters and Science.</p>

<p>Thanks, hey would you happen to know that if I passed stat I would automatically enrolled into Calculus?</p>

<p>Just like high school where you pass Geometry and get into Algebra 2, is it the same for college?</p>

<p>Or would I have to take a test and hope I get in?</p>

<p>I don't think so. You need to pass like some sort of Algebra to get into stats usually. and for calc you either place into it with a placement test or you take the College Algebra, then Trig, then Pre-Calc, then Calc, and then Calc 2</p>

<p>I think you have it mixed up, you can choose to take any of the following and then Calc...Not this then that then that....</p>

<p>AirArlen I think Laguna's right. Testing into it is the only other option I know of.</p>
