<p>What should I do to get my AP Chem lab credit? My AP Chem teacher said we should show our lab notebook to the professors and than they will decide whether or not we can get our full credit? Did I understand it right?
If it is right, what would professor like to see in the notebook (besides lab, :) ) I mean how should I organize it? Can I write in pencil in it or it should be just pen? Or maybe the labs should be typed? Or any other advice?</p>
<p>Any responce appreciated.</p>
<p>all you need is a passing score on the exam. chem 1 labs are really huge, so most likely you’ll never even talk to the professor (dr. horvath) unless you actively seek him out after class. the labs are divided into smaller sections which are led by t.a.'s, who also grade you labs. i kept all my labs from ap chem but they’re not really helping at all</p>
<p>D got a 4 on the AP chem test so she didn’t take chem I. (Plus, she’d had honors chem, AP chem, and TA’d AP chem in high school). She began with chem II, and I don’t believe she ever looked at her old AP chem labs.</p>

<p>the General Chemistry Lab course coordinator at UF does not care about what your lab notebook from High School chemistry says. Getting credit for Chem 1 or Chem 2 lab (CHM2045L/CHM2046L) does not work that way. You take the AP Exam and get a score of 3, 4, or 5.</p>
<p>Score of 3: 3 credits awarded for CHM1030 (Nursing chem 1. ALSO suits the CHM1025 course which is a requirement for chemistry proficiency for advancement to CHM2045. Proficiency can also be proved by the placement exam in ISIS). </p>
<p>1 credit awarded CHM0301 which is a single credit of CHM prefix which can be applied to general education requirements but meets absolutely no major requirements in any major (CHM0301 is a non-existent course).</p>
<p>Score of 4: 3 credits awarded for CHM2045 (General chemistry 1) and 1 credit awarded for CHM2045L (General Chemistry 1 lab). <– This is what you should be aiming for to get Chem lab credit</p>
<p>Score of 5: 6 credits awarded for CHM2045 and CHM2046 (General Chemistry 1 and 2) and 2 credits awarded for both CHM2045L and CHM2046L (General Chemistry 1 and 2 Labs). This is the entire general Chemistry sequence.</p>
<p>A NOTE OF ADVICE! </p>
<p>If you intent on using these classes as a prerequisite to a professional program beware that most professional programs throughout the country (Medicine, Dentistry, Vet Med, etc.) have restrictions on the limit to which AP/IB credits suffice certain requirements. Some professional programs welcome their use for the first half of a sequence (eg Chem 1 and Chem 1 lab credits) as long as you take the second half of the sequence at the college level AND take at least 1 semester of advanced courses in that area. </p>
<p>So for instance, if you got a 4 on your AP Chem Test you can use your credits for Chem 1, take Chem 2 and Chem 2 lab in your first semester and then take a semester of either Analytical Chemistry or Physical Chemistry and a respective lab afterward. The net effect of this is STILL a year of general chemistry (and lab!) at the college level.</p>
<p>MANY pre-health students think they can always apply AP credit to everything and use it but in reality, many times you can’t per admissions request and there are some professional schools that outright do not accept AP credit whatsoever (UCLA Med and Dent is an example). Many students even retake the same class they got credit for just to take it at the college level. UF is a hard school and its chemistry is 99% likely to be a significantly different course than what you were given in high school so it makes since that you can’t just say “Oh, I have AP credit”. EVERYONE has AP credit at this school.</p>
<p>Bottom line advice: SEE AN ADVISOR if you are coming in with AP credit OR community college credit (CLEP, IB, SAT II, or whatever you want to call it… if you didn’t earn it at UF) to figure out what step to take next.</p>
<p>Speaking of Chm. labs, I’m currently taking 2045L, and I find the work to be rather unexpectedly a bit difficult. Does anyone know how quizzes/final are for this course?</p>
