Question regarding the Math Diagnostics

I recently finished all 3 math diagnostic tests and for the first 2 (precal, derivatives), I got low 90's. Then for the 3rd one (integrals), I got an 78.5. It says you need to pass all three tests to get into Vector Calculus. Is the 78.5 considered passing? Other people have also said how I may need to take more tests during BCT to get into Vector Calculus. Does anyone have any info on this?

i would say it is better for students to take a course again that they may not have mastery of than trying to get into a course they may struggle a bit with. You will have so much going on that being "ahead" in calculus will not be the awesome thing you think it might be even though up until now you have been taught this is the way. Getting an A in the expected calculus is better than getting a C in Vector Calculus and being "ahead"
