<p>Hi! I’m a first year at UChicago. Yep, you’ve already maxed out on all six possible elective credits, so there is no need to take the economics, government, or English Lit exams for which you’re currently signed up. If you’d like to place into ECON 20000, there’s a placement exam the Monday night of first week during fall quarter. As you said, the Calc BC and German exams are definitely useful. </p>
<p>As for other placement tests, you’re required to take them in math, biology, chemistry, and any foreign languages for which you don’t have AP credit but that you’d like to take at UChicago. They’re online, and you’ll receive more info about about them later in the summer. Don’t worry. </p>
<p>A little info, though… </p>
<p>Math is only useful for potentially overriding whatever placement you get as a result of the Calc BC exam. Say you get a 4, placing you into 152. The math exam, as far as I’m aware, could place you into 153. There is also a math exam during OWeek which can allow you to place into Honors math courses.</p>
<p>The chem online placement exam is essentially for placement into the honors chem track, and the bio online placement exam is just for gauging the Bio knowledge of the incoming class. </p>
<p>Hope that helps! Msg me if you have any more questions.</p>
