<p>Don’t take Math 19A. It was fairly difficult even for I, who took normal calc last year of high school and aced it. Chances are if you did that poorly in precalc, you won’t be able to place into Math 19A anyhow. Math 11A is not an option for CE majors. So you probably need to step back to Math 3. You won’t be able to enroll in any math course until you take the placement test, so in the mean time enroll in a filler GE just in case. They will open more slots in the math classes for people who are taking the test at the start of the year, but you know, be careful. </p>
<p>Before you start on much heavy CE, you need to do some CS.

It doesn’t map the prerequisites very well, sadly. But it’s recommended you start with CS 12A/L. It’s a fast-paced “beginner” course. They expect you to come in knowing a bit of basic programming. You can get through it if you know nothing but it will be hard. </p>
<p>The other routes (if you know little about programming) are:
-You take CS 5J in winter then CS 11 in spring, which together fulfill the same requirements as CS 12A/L.
-You take CS 10 in fall to get that basic programming knowledge, then take 12A/L in winter. This is by far the easiest/quickest route.
-You take CS 5C in fall for a more comprehensive just-programming experience then take 12A/L in winter.</p>
