Has anyone taken a Math 16A Equivalent course/math course at Berkeley City College?

<p>Hi, I’m a current Berkeley student and I really really really hate math. But I have to take it for my major…so, I was thinking about taking the 16A equivalent at Berkeley City College next semester. Suggestions or personal experiences? I somehow managed to escape Calculus during my high school years and now it’s coming back to haunt me. Thanks for your help!!</p>

<p>Yeah, smart idea. Even for people who have taken years of math, the midterms are hard for them.</p>

<p>wow what did you do for your three years of math in HS? lol</p>

<p>A lot of people take like Geometry=>Algebra 2/Trig => Precalculus => AP Stats for their four years of HS.</p>

<p>^^^ To be fair, I couldn’t take Calculus, either…so for my 4 math years in HS, I took Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus, in that order.</p>

<p>What is your major? If it’s not math or science oriented but more like a liberal arts thing, it might be a good idea to try it at a smaller college. It would be not only cheaper, you wouldn’t have to worry about it and maybe mess up your GPA if you hate math that much (yeah, I hate math too)</p>

<p>Just wondering, are there any extra stuff you have to do to be enrolled in 2 colleges at the same time?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Don’t you still have to take a placement test to place into the Math 16A equivalent at Berkeley City College?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can get away from the placement test if you have AP credit.</p>

<p>nvm, just read op, he didn’t take ap calc. </p>

<p>placement tests shouldn’t be too hard…</p>
