Looks like the problems you are describing in #24 are specific to UCI. For example, Berkeley does not have mandatory placement testing before enrolling in calculus 1, for example (an advisory placement test is offered free at https://math.berkeley.edu/courses/choosing/placement-exam ). Of course, if you needed calculus 1, why did you not take it while at your CC?
But then your other thread says that you decided to attend SCU. Why are you now griping about UCI?
