UW-Madison placement test score question

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Wisconsin

<p>If I got a 700 on algebra, 800 on math basics, and 660 on trigonometry, and it says math 210, 211, or 221 (QR-A satisfied) does that mean I can take either 210, 211, or 221 or can I skip those classes and go straight on to Math 222? Oh and if I got a 580 on the English test and it says I have to take communication course A but get a 6 in IB English Lit/Lang HL can I get out of communication course A? </p>

<p>SOAR advisor will explain it all but in the meantime – though I don’t have experience with interpreting Math placement, I do recall that a 6 on IB English HL gets you out of Comm A even if you don’t score well enough on the English placement test. </p>

<p>It looks like the highest you can test into with that math placement test is among the choices you listed - Math 210, 211, or 221 (not 222)</p>

<p>Are you taking the AP Calc AB or BC exams?</p>
