<p>...oh crap..so i completely forgot about the chem placement exam and i want to enroll in chem.
as of now i'm on the waitlist for chem 6a. </p>
<p>i'm freaking out a little bit b/c it says 72 hours prior to enrollment.</p>
<p>to clarify..it's mandatory right?
i took chem honors in high school but i didn't take SAT 2s or AP chem</p>
<p>no i think it’s optional. it’s just to give you a suggestion on which chem you should take. I didn’t take it and i’m still going to enroll in chem 6A. In the ucsd TMC site it says:</p>
<pre><code> The online Chemistry Placement Exam is an optional placement exam. It is an advisory tool to help you decide if you are ready for General Chemistry.
</code></pre>
<p>The chem placement exam is not mandatory. It was pretty stupid to be honest. It wasn’t timed and it was like 20 questions and the moment you pressed submit, it graded it and said “we recommend you take this chem class, thank you have a nice day”.</p>
