<p>I took it in summer 04. My exam average (four tests in 6 weeks) was 102 or something (there were always 10 points of extra credit). Chem1 is a lot of math, so yes, you just have to practice :) I'm sure you understand all the material, but practice makes perfect. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll bounce :)</p>
<p>As for the teacher being old... if you can't learn much from his lectures, then you might have to rely on the book. We used Kotz' "Chemistry and Chem Reactivity," if that helps. I'm sure there are better books out there, but Kotz was satisfactory. :)</p>
<p>You'll be fine! Don't worry :)</p>
