Does chemistry at local community college replace AP Chemistry or Chem Honors?

<p>Does Chem 101 at a local community college during the summer (for peeps with no prior experience) usually replace AP Chemistry or Chem Honors?</p>

2

<p>If someone goes into the community college with a passing score on the AP Chemistry exam, what course(s) do they get credit for? Are there any higher-level classes that don’t have a prerequisite?</p>

<p>Since I’m looking at a range of community colleges, I guess I’m looking for a general trend. Also, the higher-level classes that I’ve looked at mostly have a prerequisite of this chemistry 101. Indeed, if it does, in fact, replace AP Chemistry, would it still be recommended to take that class anyways if I haven’t taken Chem Honors?</p>

<p>You want to take AP Chem without having any prior knowledge about chemistry? Have fun with that.</p>

<p>If you’d read the entire post, you’d realize I was referring to a community college class w/o prerequisites.</p>

<p>Chemistry 101 would be the basics of the basics, and by “replace,” you mean teach the same stuff? </p>

<p>“to allow to skip without significant difficulty”</p>

<p>Chem 101 would be honors chem as that’s what I’m taking over the summer at local CC</p>

In that case it’s probably more like Chem Honors, but high school moves slower than college, so it could cover AP Chem topics too. I’d recommend seeing if you can get some course syllabi (or just look at the course descriptions, if they’re any good) and compare them to what the AP Chem exam tests.</p>
