<p>Chem 1 & 2 are good for pre-meds. Chem 11 and 12, I think, are designed for people with some AP experience, esp. the chemical engineers. A lot of what you go over in 11 and 12 (from what I've heard) gives a good background for physical chemistry - but you won't really get into that in chem 1 & 2.</p>

<p>Okay, I'm still confused about the Chem 1,2 vs 11,12 thing.</p>
<p>How can a less rigorous class (Chem 1, 2) have more work than a more rigorous class (Chem 11, 12)? I think I might be missing something here because, right now, it sounds to me like saying that a college prep class has more work than an AP class.</p>
<p>Also, why would premeds want to take Chem 1, 2 instead of honors?</p>
