<p>Is it really a good idea to skip the MACT subject courses such as Chemistry and Biology? I sometimes heard complaints about the high school courses from my boys. </p>

<p>1) Would you consider the teaching of these courses at IUB inspiring and informative so that it is worthwhile to take these courses anyway?</p>

<p>2) Is it a good idea to skip Calculus if one’s AP scores are over 4 since MCAT does not cover math?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Thanks. I just found out the a placement test would be required for C117 at IU. Indeed, it is a good idea to take all core courses. However, for math/stats, it is a good idea to use some AP credits since MCAT does not cover that anyway.</p>
