Chemistry Major...AP Credit Chem Placement

<p>I plan to major in chemistry/biochemistry and have also been admitted to the honors college.</p>

<p>I don't know if there is any standard procedure for chemistry placement or not.</p>

<p>Does my chem placement test score determine orgo vs. intro or does my AP score (probablly high enough to earn credit based on how i felt about the test)?</p>

<p>I think that i have already had my fair share of stoichiometry, electron dot diagrams, and equillibrium contstants. :-)</p>

<p>Also...</p>

<p>Is a double major with a subject like chemistry/biochemistry near impossible?</p>

<p>I was thinking along the lines of Chem, Physics OR BioChem, Physics</p>

<p>Or would that be prohibitively difficult?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>if u have ap credit, that'll basically place you out of gen chem and into orgo. the placement test maybe helps those students without ap credit and go into orgo. chem/biochem is an easier combo than anything with physics IMO (less overlap), although a physics degree is more marketable than chem, unless ur smart and plan on getting a Ph. D</p>

<p>Yeah, definately plan on going to grad school.</p>

<p>Even though AP chemistry covers significantly more material, it only gets you out of a class that covers everything you'd do in a basic high school chemistry course. I did basic chemistry my last semester of high school, and the placement test could've very easily been my final, and I scored in something like the 93rd percentile.</p>

<p>Assuming you got a 4 or a 5 on your AP chemistry, you automatically place into orgo, and I don't think you'll need to take the placement exam.</p>
