How can freshman biology students prepare for their first quarter at Western?
STUDY YOUR MATH! If you have not completed 1 quarter of college-level Calculus or completed the AP Calculus AB/BC Exam with a “3” or higher, you will need to take a Math Placement Test before classes begin to register for your math class http://www.wwu.edu/depts/assess/tc/mathplace.htm. Students, who recently completed math classes, place much higher on the Math Placement Test. Depending on your math level class, biology majors start their first quarter with a math class and a Chem 121-General Chemistry I class.
