Many interesting fields of study are available to students with a strong mathematics background, thus students should think carefully before choosing to not continue their study of mathematics.  \nStudents who want to continue their study of mathematics should begin by following our normal procedures to obtain a placement based on their ACT or SAT math score and their placement exam score.  \nStudents who earn a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam, may choose to enroll in MA 114, Calculus II.  \nStudents who earn a 4 on the AP Calculus AB exam are discouraged from enrolling in Calculus II, MA 114 as their first mathematics course at UK.  \nWe do not recommend that students with a 3 on the AP Calculus AB exam enroll in Calculus II, MA 114. They may enroll in MA 113, Calculus I or MA 137, Calculus I with life science applications.  \nAP Calculus BC exam  \nBegin by following our normal procedures to place the student based on their ACT or SAT math score, placement exam score and Calculus AB exam score.  \nStudents who earn a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam may choose to enroll in Calculus III, MA 213.  \nStudents with an AP Calculus BC exam score of 4 are discouraged from enrolling in MA 213 as their first mathematics course at UK.  \nWe do not recommend that students who earn a 3 on the AP Calculus BC exam enroll in MA 213.  \nStudents do not earn credit when they take a course for which they have AP credit. However, the Mathematics Department believes that students should have a strong foundation in introductory courses before moving on to more advanced courses.  \nIf students need to change their registration after receiving AP scores, they must contact their advisor to adjust their registration. The Mathematics Department will do its best to make spaces available so that students may move into the appropriate class.  \nGrid on reverse side  \nPlacement recommendations for students with AP Calculus credit who plan to take additional Calculus courses.
