<p>you’ll be able to chat with your adviser about things like this on multiple occasions during O-Week. I sure don’t know the answer.</p>
<p>but again, like corranged said, studying for the placement tests defeats the purpose of it. do a simple refresher if you feel you need to, but don’t overstress about it. If you do well on the test, you’ll be put in a more difficult class, and if anything your first quarter, you want to take easier classes instead of harder classes to adjust to the environment and to see how you do work. (And to also to get used to the fact that yes, there are parties, and yes, sometimes they are on weeknights).</p>
<p>one tip about the math placement test-- start at the end and work backwards. I skipped over a lot of questions that involved integration, which was never my thing, and instead wrote up the delta-epsilon proof for the definition of a limit, which was totally my thing. Had I only done the integrations, I probably would have had to take some more calc to get core credit, but because I knew the delta-epsilon proof, I was able to test out of requirements.</p>
