<p>Say I fail HS AP Calc…what kind of math will I be expected to take at CP? Are there core math requirements? Are they easy?</p>
<p>I’m assuming by fail you mean get a 1 or 2 on the AP? This is what I understand from their brochures: </p>
<ol>
<li><p>You need to take a placement exam before the orientation. It’s like the SAT II Math IIC. This will determine what course you’ll have to take. </p></li>
<li><p>There’s a fundamental math course that you can skip with a 600 on the SAT I Math.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I’m just wondering if calculus is a required math, or if you can take some kind of random fluff for your core class.</p>
<p>You’ll need one class from this [url=<a href=“http://www.ugst.umd.edu/core/courses/Distributive/MathCo.html]list[/url”>http://www.ugst.umd.edu/core/courses/Distributive/MathCo.html]list[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Nice, thanks!</p>
<p>That map course looks good…haha.</p>
<p>Yeah, I wish they had some cop-out options for the humanities category.</p>
<p>you also have to take a fundamental CORE, which is math220 or math 140. math 220 is like calc ab, and math 140 is like calc bc.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In groovinhard’s case would he still have to take math 140 if his sat score > 600?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Noooooo. I got a 720 on my SAT. But I currently have an E in AP Calc…(which is ok because I already have enough math credits to graduate…ahaha).</p>
<p>some majors require you to take certain math classes though; even if you fulfill the fundamental requirement. i failed the AP test for calc AB (2) but got a 720 on my math SAT, but still had to take math220 for the business school. lame.</p>
<p>if you don’t have ap credits, you still need to take math 140 (calc 1 if required by major) doesn’t matter how high your SAT score is. SAT scores can only help you pass placement exams if it’s high. If you have AP scores of 3 or higher on calculus, you don’t need to take it again.</p>
