<p>is there a significant difference between the chem 6 series and the chem 6 h series?</p>
<p>From what I've read, Chem 6H is a lot harder and not necessarily worth taking over reg. Chem 6 series</p>
<p>I wouldn't take Honors chem unless you're amazingly good at chem - the regular chem 6 series is already a pain in the bum as-is.</p>
<p>does taking chem h series look good for grad schools?</p>
<p>Yes it does, but the big question is can you get high enough grades. Are you talented enough to beat out your competitive peers? Keep in mind roughly only 15-20% of students in science classes can pull out an A, exceptions being the 1st year science courses. Alot of freshmen get a big reality check once they get to the UC level and see what it's truly like. Oh yeah, chem doesn't become beastly until you start the organic series.</p>
<p>i really wanted to be in the chem h series and i saw you can take it by getting a 4 on the ap test (which i think i did) but i took the ucsd placement test and when the results came it, it said i could just take the h series so did i pretty much waste my money taking the ap test?</p>
<p>If you can get a 5 in the test, you can pretty much skip all chem 6ABC, a 4 can only skip chem 6A though.</p>
<p>So yeah basically you wasted the money if you really got a 4. That's why it's always good to do research b4 taking the test....I spent over $400 on the AP tests, but at the end only 2 of them can give me credit, which is really...sucks</p>
<p>Isn't skipping 6A still useful? I took a lot of AP tests and I'm very thankful I did. It's nice to be able to skip GEs and focus on classes that really interest me.</p>
<p>"Isn't skipping 6A still useful?"</p>
<p>It depends on your goal after college. If you're looking to apply to professional schools, then skipping out of general chem is probably not a great idea.</p>
<p>above what sat2 chem score would one consider taking chem6h?</p>
<p>i just took the ucsd chem placement test and it recommended that i start with chem 6aH...are they usually accurate in what they recommend?</p>
<p>about grad school
they wouldn't care about whether u took honors or not</p>
<p>it's mainly about what papers you've written and what research you've done, not much else (your gpa/gre's play a role too)</p>
<p>so DO NOT let "grad school" be your reason for taking honors
you are not in high school anymore, it just doesn't work like that.</p>
<p>take honors if you want to learn more/challenge yourself and if you believe you can get a solid A in the whole series.</p>
<p>Can you place out of 6A with the Chemistry placement test?</p>
<p>u can place of 6A with a 4 on the ap chem test.</p>
<p>i know, but what about the placement exam</p>
<p>The placement exam just tells you if the school thinks you'd be ready for Honors. It doesn't "test you out" of anything. Nobody takes it unless they're seriously considering Honors.</p>
<p>o, ok then, thx for the help</p>
<p>I took Honors... I didn't consider it that horrific (though many did...) The textbook is the most awful piece of nonfiction ever written though, and our tests tend to be unbelievably hard sometimes, but there is a tremendous curve... But on a good note, chem 6CH is really interesting (its about forensics...) and its pretty easy...</p>
<p>bewareofnerd...a couple of questions:</p>
<p>what was your sat2: chem score?</p>
<p>what was your ap chem score?</p>
<p>what was your sat score and gpa?</p>
<p>is it crucial to have taken physics prior to enrolling in chem honors?</p>
<p>=pppp</p>
<p>dude..... sat scores are overrated. if you think you like the subject of chemistry take it. if not, dont. that simple man....</p>
