<p>So I got placed into Chem 102 (haven't done chemistry in 2 years so please don't judge) and I'm debating whether or not I should do Chem 105a for freshman year. The only reason why I'd want to do Chem 102 before taking 105 is because I haven't done chemistry in a while and I think that it may be good to start with the basics. But what are the drawbacks on doing Chem 102 instead of 105 in terms of timing (would I have to take a summer class or something along those lines to catch up)?
Btw, I am pre-med.</p>
<p>Note: I can only get placed into 105 after I retake my placement test..but I wasn't far off the first time so I'm sure it is doable.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
