Students wishing to enter pre-calculus must attain a score of 460 on the SAT II IC test. To enter applied calculus, a student must score at least a 480 on the SAT II IC. To enter applied calculus, a student must score at least 480 on the SAT II IC. For calculus I admission, students must score at least 710 on the SAT II IC test or 630 on the IIC test.
