<p>I'm planning to audit organic chemistry class in the summer before my sophomore year. I will be treated like other students--getting a textbook, doing labs, taking tests--but I won't get any academic credit. I think it will prepare me for orgo in my sophomore year, but I'm not sure if it is really a good idea. Your opinions?</p>
<p>Don't audit the class, sit in on it sure if you can, but don't audit it. It goes on your transcript. My two cents at least.</p>
<p>Geez. Organic chem is not that hard. There is no class you have to audit in order to perform well.</p>
<p>At least at some schools, you will not be permitted to take the class for credit after auditing it.</p>
<p>r u joking. organics isn't that hard, plus there's 1 question on organics on the chem ap test. it's almost not even worth learning in chemistry, let alone by itself.</p>
<p>Why did you feel it was necessary to bump a 2 year old thread?</p>
<p>Because you can.</p>

This is coming from someone who only experienced orgo through AP chem and is probably still in high school. Having done AP chem myself, I can say that Orgo in AP Chem is very far from the actual college Orgo. AP Chem's Orgo is a complete joke.</p>

<p>Who? Me????</p>
<p>No, the person you were replying to.</p>
<p>Is luber43 honestly comparing high school chemistry to Organic chemistry in college?</p>
