<p>I know for Engineering, if you had below a 600 on your CR SAT then you had to take the English test (for proficiency I suppose?). There are two math tests: One is basic algebra, the other is trig functions. If you do poorly in them, I think you MAY have to take a remedial algebra class your first semester (instead of Calculus).</p>
<p>If you do well, you get placed into a class based on any AP Credit you have (Calc II if you have AP Calc AB credit, Calc III if you have AP Calc BC credit, I think you need a 4 or 5 to receive credit.)</p>
<p>Some foreign language classes may require a placement exam if you wish to start at a higher level than the Intro class. If you have 3 years of foreign language on your HS transcript, then there is no need to take a foreign language class at Pitt (unless you want to).</p>
