Chem 125 Experiment Reviews

<p>I looked on CTools and there are files for experiment reviews for each experiment... it seems to summarize what we were supposed to learn from each experiment and has some questions that look exactly like the exams.</p>

<p>So... does anybody that's taken this class before know if that will tell you enough to ace the tests? The practice exams don't seem too hard and there's really not much that you can take away from these experiments, so I'm guessing that they'd be enough... but I'd like some more insight.</p>

<p>My best advice would be to do all the old exams. The real exam is modeled exactly like those. Just memorize all the trends and you’re golden.</p>

<p>awesome, thank you</p>

<p>^^ exactly what blackpen said</p>

<p>We were able to drop our midterm and double our final grade if we did better on the final than the midterm</p>

<p>72% on Midterm
103% on Final because I took all the practice exams and got the pattern down</p>

<p>so is it even that hard to get an A in this class?</p>

<p>Well, I had a really good Chem group. You know how at the beginning, you take a little survey that matches you with a group? They ask you where you live and your chem experience. I basically said I had no Chem experience (lie, I tested out of gen chem at orientation but was not gonna take orgo haah). So when the groups were made I was put with 2 other engineers and a chem major :)</p>

<p>The one female engineer in our class did end up failing, dropping, then transfering completely and did contribute that much, but it didn’t matter.</p>

<p>I don’t think its that hard to get an A. But then again, I essentially got a 103% on my midterm AND final, so I was very fortunate.</p>

<p>Well I’m pretty sure that the experiment reviews explain those trends before the questions so… score!</p>

<p>And I have 2 lab partners that put their fair share in (even though they’re not engineers or chem majors) and 1 that’s lazy, but whatever, we’ll make up for him.</p>
