The Class of 2013 performed similarly on the Advanced Standing Exams (ASEs) to the Class of 2012, with a few variations. This year, more freshman passed 8.01 (Classical Mechanics), 8.02 (Electricity & Magnetism), and 18.01 (Single Variable Calculus). The Math Diagnostic results were once again used as a strict cutoff for entry into 8.012 (the more intense, lecture-based version of 8.01), but there was no cutoff for entry into 8.01.
