<p>Hi, I got admitted to Berkeley engineering, and my major is eecs.
I am taking ap bio this year, and originally planned to take the exam.
However, now I wonder if it is worth to take the test.
Is biology required for eecs major?
Or would it be better to take ap chem instead of ap bio?</p>
<p>According to the [Undergraduate</a> Notes | EECS at UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/]Undergraduate”>Information for Current Undergraduate Students | EECS at UC Berkeley) page 9, 30 units of science and math are required. Some of them are specified (math and physics courses), but a choice of science courses can be used for the remaining units.</p>
<p>The College of Engineering [undergraduate</a> handbook](<a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/advising%20handbbk%2011-12.pdf]undergraduate”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/advising%20handbbk%2011-12.pdf) page 9 indicates that AP biology with a 4 or 5 gives 5.3 units and equivalency of Biology 1A, 1AL, and 1B. It also indicates that AP chemistry with a 3 or better gives 5.3 units and equivalency of Chemistry 1A and 1AL. These biology and chemistry courses are among those allowed in the EECS major science requirement.</p>
