<p>okay, I have a question about the math requirement at UCLA. Should I take the 3 series or 31/32 series. I'm calc BC right now, atticipating a 5. what should I do?</p>
<p>It seems the 3 series is the easier one.</p>
<p>take whatever course you think youll get the best grade in.</p>
<p>your gpa is what you should be concerned about, not difficulty.</p>
<p>3 series is easier. 30 series math is for math majors and engineers.</p>
<p>what did you guys take?</p>
<p>3 series if i were you</p>
<p>There is no math requirement.</p>
<p>What major are you doing? If you're doing biochemistry or biophysics or whatever, then you have to take the 30s series.</p>
<p>I'm doing bio.</p>
<p>OK. 3 series is good as long as you don't switch into a physical science major.</p>
<p>well, i don't really plan to anyways :eek:</p>
<p>econ, (and associated majors like biz-econ, etc.) require 31 series. A lot of people end up changing majors in college, and if you're thinking you might switch into one of these you should take the 31 series.</p>
<p>I'm slightly worried that if I pass the AP Calc BC I won't be able to take the 31 or 3 series from the beginning.</p>
<p>And what's the problem with that?</p>

then don't take the test ;) I've read that they will only consider revoking admission if you drop the class, not if you don't take the AP test. </p>
<p>And there's good reason to take it from the start. If its familiar material you have a leg up. In the off-quarter class (eg 31B) you have other students who also took the AP test so you're up against what may be smarter kids than in the regular class. And there are fewer sections offered for the off-quarter class so it will be somewhat harder to put together a schedule with classes at the times you want.</p>
