• “Do you accept University of Missouri at Saint Louis’ Math 1800
• r Math 1310 for transfer credit?”
• "Does it transfer as a particular course, a math elective, or a general

elective?”

• “Does it meet minimum requirements for required math courses

toward my degree?”

• “Would I have to take any other math courses for my degree?”
• “Do I still have to take a math placement test?”
• “Can I take math courses beyond whatever Math 1800 or Math

1310 will transfer as?”

• “Does transferring Math 1800 or Math 1310 affect my g.p.a.?”

The receiving institution decides whether credit will be accepted for transfer. Call Admissions or the Registrar at the university you want to transfer credit to.

If I buy an AP review book, which one should I buy?

Quick answer: The one you will actually read/use. Suggestion:

• Take a topic you already understand pretty well.
• Find that topic in a prospective review book
• Read the page on that topic.
• If it confuses you, move on.
• If it makes sense, it is probably written the way you

learn and may be a good choice.
