| They're ADVANCED standing exams. You dont have to take any of them! The vast vast majority of students take absolutely no advanced standing exams and are not in any way behind because of that. Also, a 4 on Calc BC passes you out of 18.01 (single-variable calculus) already. Also, of all the people I know who decided to pass out of classes and get ahead, the majority ended up taking filler classes freshman or sophomore year while waiting for other classes to be offered, and ended up at the same place as everyone anyways. Unless you're SURE you will get nothing out of a class, you should take it, if for no other reason than that it'll give you a good solid foundation to build on. |
