Hi everyone! I'm an incoming Biology major at UCR and I'm really stressed about my math placement. I just took the ALEKS Math Placement Assessment and scored a 33, so it says my placement is Math 3. However, I also got a 2 on the AP Calculus AB exam, and I've heard that a score of 2 can qualify you for Math 4 or Math 5A.
I'm really hoping to stay on track for a 4-year graduation as a Biology major, and I'd prefer to start in Math 5A if possible.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? If your ALEKS score placed you into Math 3 but you had an AP Calculus AB score of 2, were you able to enroll in Math 5A instead?
Also, if I do have to start in Math 3, were you still able to graduate on time as a Biology major?
I'm honestly really anxious, so I'd really appreciate hearing about anyone's experience. Thank you!

hello! im an incoming freshman and im a little confused about how class registration works.
when do incoming freshmen usually register for classes? is it during orientation or with an advisor on zoom? if i have a later meeting date, will i have fewer class options than students who attend the earlier meeting dates? thanks!!

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming student trying to plan a family trip for December and wanted to ask about finals at UCR. Are fall quarter finals usually before winter break starts, or can they run into/after the break? Around what dates are finals typically held in December? I know winter break is from Dec 12- Jan 1. I’m trying to avoid scheduling a trip that would interfere with exams. Thanks!
