<p>this is the first year you could choose between EITHER 1B OR 16B OR 53 OR 54.</p>
<p>assuming you got a 5 on the AP BC test, you pass out of * only*16A/1A.</p>
<p>let me answer your question with another question: is there a reason you want to take multivar? (aside some sort of school conditioning/brainwashing that makes your inner self long to take the “next” step [any end in sight?]) if there’s a legit reason you want to take multivar or linear algebra (ie: you think it’d help add to the knowledge set you’re trying to form for your career; you want to major/minor in something that needs 53 or 54) then i say go for it, but know that 53 and 54 is filled with math majors and engineers. if you can grab a good grade, you’ll have to work for it if math’s not your best subject (which i wont assume it is since i knew a lot of pre-haas-ers who epic failed 16 B…)</p>
<p>if i were you, (and didnt need 53/54 for another major/minor) i’d grab 1B and try to own. </p>
<p>if you’re clinging to your high school mentality of progress for the sake of progress, you can always sign up for both and then drop out of the one you don’t want after a few weeks…</p>
<p>honestly though, haas doesn’t give 2 *****s if you take math 218 B or math 16 B, as long as you get a good grade in it.</p>
<p>gpa is truly important. (though still not everything, obviously)</p>
