When should we do the placement tests?

<p>Whens a good time to do the math and spanish placement tests?</p>

<p>Also, are you required to take a math course freshman year (if doing liberal arts).</p>

<p>Any time. I would suggest NOW so that you can retake before the May 11 (I think) deadline. </p>

<p>If you scored a 28 on the math part of the ACT (I THINK. Check me on that), or have passed any AP calc tests, then you do not have to take math.</p>

<p>Yep, it’s a 28, I remember because that’s exactly what I got on the math part of the ACT.</p>

<p>Oh, and if you do need to take a math course (if you don’t fill one of those requirements), you don’t necessarily need to take it during your freshman year, you can take it any time.</p>

<p>Take one ASAP</p>

<p>As a Michigan State student, I recommend to you… place where you want to place, and don’t try… because you may place just TOO high.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>And it cuts you out from a lot of other opportunities/classes, that build on it and are much easier. Plus, you need the credits anyway for some majors…</p>

<p>So, why place into Calc I and you need 3 math classes to graduate… why go to Calc IV? When you only need Calc III</p>

<p>I hope that makes sense.</p>

<p>Wait, you need 3 math classes to graduate? I thought the requirement was only one?</p>

<p>It is only one for general undergrad reqs. Your major may require more though.</p>
