What's with 10 GE classes?

<p>what if u get a 3 or 4 on calc, can you still take 31a and 31b?</p>

<p>As of now (until new guidelines are posted), getting a 4 or 5 on BC will give you credit for 31A and 31B (4 or 5 on AB will give 31A credit), so no.</p>

<p>A 3 won't get you any credit, so yes.</p>

<p>on the site, if you get a 3 on calculus, it says u get credit for "Calculus." what does that mean? you don't get ANY credit at all or you get credit for lower levels math courses.</p>

<p>also a lot of them, if you get a 3, it says you get "Unassigned" credit. what does that mean?</p>

<p>If it doesn't have a course number, it's basically just empty units that can be applied towards graduation (with some restrictions) and those AH/QR/FL/etc. requirement.</p>

<p>I saw the AH/QR/FL requirements listed on the AP credit page, but I'm not sure I understand what they are. Specifically, what is the "Subject A" requirement? I pass that requirement thanks to AP English but I'm not sure what it is. Does every major in the College have these requirements? I'm pretty sure my APs fulfill all the requirements but it all depends on my scores this year - if not, do I take classes to fulfill them or tests?</p>

<p>I believe these are simply called "College Requirements"... but they can essentially be considered as GE's that AP credit (or other means) can satisfy.</p>

<p>Subject A (now known as Entry Level Writing Requirement) requirement is the really basic level of English. If you didn't satisfy that via AP or SAT and AWPE, then you'd have to take EngComp2.</p>

<p>QR can be satisfied by any math/stats class if you haven't already through AP. This of course doesn't matter if you are a science major.</p>

<p>FL can be satisfied by any AP Foreign Language or through placement exams. Essentially you have to show a proficiency greater than level 3 (~3 years of high school FL / 3 quarters of college FL) by examination or taking courses.</p>

<p>The same type of scenario is true for the rest of those requirements there except for Writing II and seminar.</p>

<p>if you get a 4 or 5 from an AP language, does that mean you don't have to take language at ucla? what if you pass the language placement exam at UCLA, do you still have to take it?</p>

<p>Yes, that's correct. Again, if you can somehow show (AP, placement exam, or taking courses) that your proficiency is beyond level 3, then you're good.</p>

<p>so everyone has to take the placement exam if they didn't get a passing grade for AP language right? do i take the placement exam of the language in which i took in high school or a totally new language that i want to learn? </p>

<p>also, does this apply to the math placement exam? if you pass the math exam, does that make you exempt from math31a/b, or is the math exam different in that you pass the exam in order to be placed in 31a/b?</p>

<p>You don't have to take it.</p>

<p>It can be anything you want. But if it's a totally new language, then it's kind of pointless as it won't do anything since you won't know much, if at all?</p>

<p>Well, technically it works the same way. Both placement exams can pass you out of the basics (FL 1-6 and MATH Pre-Calculus). But you're right about the latter statement.</p>

<p>is there anyway you can petition not to get credit for 31 B because I really dont wan't to go to 32A ( I got a 5, but I don't think I am prepared). We didn't do any hyperbolic functions, we skipped those, but they are used in 32A and I know 0 hyperbolic functions.</p>
