| Quantitative Reasoning Requirement
So for the College of Letters and Science, the quantitative reasoning requirement "can be satisfied by achieving an SAT I mathematics score of 600 or better, an SAT II Subject Test in Mathematics score of 550 or better..." and if I did meet those scores ... and assuming that my major doesn't require Calc, what is the placement test for? |

| you don't need to take the placement exam then. you're done with math (unless you have to take stats if you're a social science major). | |

| no, you can jump straight to math 31B. that math class is also a requirement for econ i believe. | |

| Do I have to take the Stats class in preparation for the biz-econ major, even if I got a 4 on the AP Stats exam? | |

| I think you still have to take Stats 11. I got the same grade. You only get units and satisfy quant. reasoning. Correct me if i 'm wrong | |

| yes you have to take stats 11, even if you passed the AP stats exam. i think that stats class is geared a little bit toward econ majors because the social science majors (i.e. poli sci) take a different stats class. | |

| I am technically "done" with math, since I don't plan on a south campus major, but I would still like to take more math. Like, higher levels of calc. Would that be a bad idea? I know it's sort of a waste of time, but would it get in the way of completing GEs and reqs for my yet to be determined major? I mean, are there even higher math classes for non-science majors? (like, multivariable calc for poets :-P ) | |

| Darkling,
I would only suggest taking higher math classes if you were to minor or even double major in mathematics or else it will be just a waste of units since they won't really count for anything towards your degree. | |

| No, you don't. By "pass", I'm assuming you mean 4 or 5. | |
