Calculus Placement

<p>You’ll hear about things like this a lot during O-Week.</p>

<p>I seem to remember that they break up the tests into people who have done calc before and people who haven’t. (You’ll be in the 30% or so who haven’t). The exam (as least the calc one) went from easy to hard. The easy was very easy, the hard was very hard.</p>

<p>You have a few options for fulfilling the math requirement. Either you place into 131 and start calc from scratch (131 is calc without proofs and with extra tutorial sessions). Or you place into pre-calc to take calc. Or… you can take studies in math, Math 112, which has gotten rave reviews from the people I know who took it.</p>

<p>It depends on what you call “pre-calc” but in my school “pre-calc” and calc are pretty different and you can do calc without all of the pre-calc. (Calc is easier!)</p>
