Official scores must be sent to the U of A Office of the Registrar.  If you did not designate the U of A as a recipient of your score at the time of your exam, you may send your scores to the U of A through the College Board Advanced Placement Program site.

A score of 3 or higher on the AP Precalculus exam awards credit for the University of Arizona Math 120R, Calculus Preparation.  This course places students into several other courses like Math 113, 116 (after MIS 111), Math 119A, Math 122A/B, Math 163, Math 263, SBS 200, etc.   Find out about these courses here.  

Please note that you may still need to take the PPL Assessment if you do not have credit or SAT/ACT math scores that place you into other courses like CHEM 151 or CSC 110.   If you do not have your score yet, please follow the instructions in the math placement section of your Next Steps Center.  

If you have additional questions about this after meeting with your academic advisor, contact the Math Placement Office
