<p>Hi I am a new student at cal and signed up for 61a</p>
<p>And I heard it from my friend that you will be taking a test on like the first day </p>
<p>(I guess he’s referring to like a placement test?)</p>
<p>Is this true? Cause I have not gotten any email or message regarding about this and was wondering if anyone here can help me out</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>no, they changed that policy. they use to do the test-thing when CS was an impacted major so they can weed out the students that are unprepared. but, CS is no longer an impacted major so it’s chill.</p>
<p>Oh wow was scared for a bit …
Well I have taken intro courses cs classes and hopefully am ready forthat class
Btw on what concept did they tested you on?</p>
<p>they use to test you on basic recursion and techniques of it. although, even without the test, they expect you to know recursion beforehand.</p>
