If you place at level 2+ and plan to take calculus, you should retake the mathematics placement exam after doing a thorough review of the appropriate material. If your placement level is still 2+ after having retaken the exam, and you want to study calculus, you should take MAP103, which will provide you with the best possible preparation for future calculus courses.

If you place at level 3 and want a single semester overview of calculus, you should take MAT122. If you do not need to take calculus, and wish to do only a single semester of mathematics, you should strongly consider MAT118, which will provide you with a more general overview of mathematics. If you place at this level and plan to take more than a single semester of calculus, you should take MAT123.
