<p>Last year, and they’ll tell you again in orientation. Getting a 5 In Calc AB, gives you the choice of not having to take the math diagnostic test during orientation and you can skip to Math 31B. However, if you chose to take the math diagnostic test you’ll have to go by w/e score you got even if you got a 5. You CAN’T Accept the course credit from calc AP AP test and take Math 31A(the class that you skipped, and what people normally start out with). </p>
<p>On the other hand, if you took the CALC BC test then getting 5 can get you waived out of both math 31a and math 31b, and you can start on Math 32A(multi variable calculus). Normally, people don’t take physics till winter quarter anyways… and for engineering majors they revised the requirements for us or something. [Curricular</a> Requirements & Department Information — UCLA Engineering Office of Academic and Student Affairs](<a href=“http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/curricular-requirements-department-information]Curricular”>http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/curricular-requirements-department-information) Tells you in Red. </p>
<p>I took stats AP and it ended up just counting for units, as did my Econ AP. I’m pretty sure thats what happens with most of the History APs for engineering majors. But don’t worry, you spend like an hour or so doing schedule planning with your counselors during your orientation, its pretty detailed and they’ll tell you how much credit you can get from your APs and such.</p>
<p>Your class schedule seems alright. I dont know what major you in, but since your taking CS31, I’m going to assume your either, CS, CSE, or EE. It seems like an ok schedule? But Chem was pretty difficult for my friends since Baugh teaches it, but his curve saves majority of the class. So as long as you do average i guess you should be fine. (Don’t completely know since i waived out of chem 20A with my chem AP test credit). I don’t know whats eng87. If you got a 5 on CALC AB test, i’m pretty sure Math 31A will not be difficult for you, unless you get unlucky and have alot of proofs on your exams. </p>
<p>On a side note, I skipped out of Math 31a and into math 31b by not taking the math diagnostic test, cause I didn’t want to be too behind. I learned through schedule planning for the future, that its good to be ahead in the math series, since they were prereqs for some EE classes I needed to take. I’m already ahead one quarter/class… but compared to what would be ideal, I’m behind by a quarter/class</p>
