chemistry placement exam

<p>I'm an incoming freshman for Revelle and the information on UCSD's websites are conflicting. Revelle's site says a 3 will exempt me from the chemistry placement exam but UCSD's general website (the link I got off my tritonlink) says you need a 4. So which one is it?</p>

<p>I thought the chemistry placement exam was optional. Maybe they changed that. Where are you getting that information?</p>

<p>They don’t make it seem that way. </p>

<p>Here’s Revelle’s website: [Prospective</a> Students: Chemistry & Language Exemptions](<a href=“http://revelle.ucsd.edu/prosp-students/exemptions.html]Prospective”>http://revelle.ucsd.edu/prosp-students/exemptions.html)</p>

<p>And the other one:

<p>I would love for someone to clear this up as well.</p>

<p>I emailed someone from UCSD and they said it was optional</p>

<p>Wow… This is just disappointing. I had to survive 3 years of crappy administration at my current HS, you see.</p>
