Get credit for Calc 1 and II AP Calc AB and BC respectivelyThere ' s no restriction on getting into CS as a major . The restriction on getting OUT of CS with a degree is weed out classes . As weedout classes , Calc I and II are designed to fail everyone who doesn ' t belong in the major but since they ' re already enrolled they will likely continue to give UMD their money . Most of the Calc III profs don ' t give a fuck and the content is excessively hard , far beyond what you ' d need to get a 4 or 5 on the AP . Getting a 4 or 5 on BC Calc will get you out of those courses straight to Calc III , which is much easier as a nonweedout . CMSC 216 and 250 I hear are also weedouts but I ' m not in the major . If you made that app alone you can proooobably test out of CMSC 131 and 132 as some of my friends did . Few things are as bad as Calc I and II though .
