<p>Hey guys, I think I should take either Math 10A or 10C this year since I'm incoming freshman
Just wanna ask you guys tthe difference between the two.
In high school, I took AP Calculus AB but don't know the score yet cuz there was some kind of issue but I'm pretty sure I got either 4 or 5.</p>
<p>Well actually, if every subject changes depending on my AP subjects, how am I supposed to know what I should take for other classes besides math? I can't find any suggestions in UCSD webpage..(for example, if you passed the Econ AP, take Econ 20 and if not take Econ 10... or something, you know?) Guys help me out!</p>
<p>Heres something that might help you out: [Testing</a> and Evaluation Office](<a href=“http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/apcredit.shtml]Testing”>http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/apcredit.shtml) If you think you got a 4 or 5 you dont have to take the math placement exam (you probably know that already…) but since you took Calc AB you could only be placed into Math 10B at most (or 20B if you’re interested).</p>
<p>As for the other AP subjects if you google something like UCSD AP credits you should be able to find a chart that tells you how many units it gives you and if it exempts you from any classes.</p>
<p>the 20 series covers more material but if you’ve taken AP calc, both should be manageable. To give you an idea of what I mean, I took regular calc in high school and moved onto math 20A, and found that much of the material overlapped with what I learned in high school. I imagine it would only overlap more with AP material, so moving on to 20B should be okay, and 10B even more so.</p>
<p>Depends on your major. If you are sure you’ll never do something science/engineering related that will require the 20 series then 10 will be fine… I admit am a bit biased here… I took the 20 series because I was undeclared and it would allow me more major options because i was looking mostly at sciences</p>
