Call Admissions or the Registrar at the university you want to transfer credit to. • “Do you accept University of Missouri at Saint Louis’ Math 1800 or Math 1310 for transfer credit?” • "Does it transfer as a particular course, a math elective, or a general elective?” • “Does it meet minimum requirements for required math courses toward my degree?” • “Would I have to take any other math courses for my degree?” • “Do I still have to take a math placement test?” • “Can I take math courses beyond whatever Math 1800 or Math 1310 will transfer as?” • “Does transferring Math 1800 or Math 1310 affect my g.p.a.?” This presentation is available at www.stevewillott.com Jan 13­10:52 AM If I buy an AP review book, which one should I buy? Quick answer: The one you will actually read/use. Suggestion: • Take a topic you already understand pretty well. • Find that topic in a prospective review book • Read the page on that topic. • If it confuses you, move on. • If it makes sense, it is probably written the way you learn and may be a good choice.
