College Life

<p>I did extremely poorly on my calculus entrance exam.</p>

<p>What are the consequences. </p>

<p>Will I have to take Pre-Calculus in my freshman year?</p>

<p>By extremely poorly, I mean a 72% on the first portion and 44% on second portion. </p>

<p>I took it on a really bad day lol.</p>

<p>Depends on your school. At my school, ALL incoming freshmen take the calculus exam, and they have a set score you have to get in order to take math classes. The test is out of 120, and you only need a 67 to get into Calc 1 at my school. I got a 65, which totally sucks, but I don’t have any calculus experience at all, so I’m fairly content with retaking precalc.</p>

<p>But honestly, it depends on your school.</p>

<p>You should check - there might be a way to retake it. I know that at my orientation they said there was some way to retake all the placement tests if you did badly.</p>
