<p>I have a few questions about the anticipatory exams. </p>
<p>Is it to my advantage to test out of a class like Calc II?
Do we get a graphing calculator for the entire test?
Is it a hard test?</p>
<p>Any answers are appreciated.</p>
<p>When this question was posed at our Mass send off, the alums there strongly suggested that no one who needs calc as part of their major - for example Engineers - should test out or take AP credits for calc. It was commmunicated that this is NOT recommended. I also undertand that at Lehigh calculators are NOT ALLOWED in calc, so I would kind of assume they won’t be on the exam.</p>
<p>My recommendation is that you contact your advisor or your Dean and pose these questions as it really depends upon your major and whether or not Calc is a base needed for said major.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. I’m a CSB major, so math is part of my requirement.</p>
<p>Calculators aren’t allowed in calculus?</p>
<p>That was my son was told, he is a Bioengineering major. You should email your advisor or Dean and ask.</p>
<p>AnonXx,</p>
<p>if i were you, i would try to place out of calc 22. i hear calc 23 is actually much easier than calc 22. however, it may also be extremely hard to place out of it, but it’s worth a shot. i do not know how the test works, so i’m sorry i can’t help you out there.</p>
<p>There are no calculators allowed in Calculus- they won’t even transfer in a Calc course from another school if calculators were allowed. I would strongly suggest taking the class and not opting out. Some of my son’s classmates dropped the class mid-term with bad grades and took the AP credit, and then struggled in Calc 23.</p>
