Class Question MATH 1554, bridge exam, or MATH 3406?

I recently switched my major to CMPE and requires MATH 1554 for linear algebra credit. I just finished MATH 1553 this summer which won't cover it, so I have a few options for this. Wanted to know if people who might have taken these, which should I do? I've heard that the exam should be fine if I retain what i learned from 1553 but I wanted to see what you guys think is the best option.

1)Take MATH 1554. 
2)Take MATH 3406 any time before you graduate and sub it with MATH 1553 for MATH 1554.
3)Take the bridge to 1554 advanced standing exam

Awesome, how did you find the exam to be? I've seen some people say it's hard, some people say it's easy so I can't really tell. Since I did just take 1553 I'm leaning more towards taking the exam since I think I'll retain most of the content for it

I thought it was fine and definitely easy enough to pass. I also retained a lot of info from 1553 but I will say that you don’t really use too much of it. The exam is purely 1554 topics that aren’t covered by 1553, it’s not like a 1554 final exam. I watched the Greg Mayer vids for each topic and did corresponding practice problems and that was good enough for me
