Has anyone taken the chem101 placement exam?

<p>see topic.</p>

<p>if you have, can you share some insight on what kind of questions to expect? i thought i would have this in the bag with a little studying, but i heard from someone that penn’s placement tests are really hard. any idea of % credit awarded for the tests also?</p>

<p>no clue, but i'd like to know too...bump</p>

<p>bump, post if you're preparing for this placement test. or send me an i.m. to mdford86 if you want to talk about some topics, because i sure do!</p>

<p>I'll be taking it as well.</p>

<p>did you have ap chem? last chem i took was ap test in 2004 (i'll be a transfer student to penn this year) so i'm trying to crack down on some of these topics so i don't have to waste a credit on chem...</p>

<p>i took it and i hated it. ended up falling asleep during the exam thinking i wasted 2 hours of my life... but then again i wasn't prepared AT ALL.. it'll be easier if you actually study for it, but who wants to do that? its summer time!</p>

<p>no joke. I took it and didn't pass, because i didn't know what was on the exam. to be honest its not much harder than AP chem, you just need to know some additional topics that i didn't cover in IB or AP chem.</p>

<p>*these additional topics are all quantum mechanics stuff.</p>

<p>I'd be interested in any topics to key in on as well. Thanks for noting quantum mechanics.</p>

<p>Are there mulitple choice questions like the AP or just free response?</p>

<p>I'd suppose there are both. I plan to take these exams too. Remember to register at the chem department's web site <a href="http://www.sas.upenn.edu/chem/"&gt;http://www.sas.upenn.edu/chem/&lt;/a> before 3 pm of each test date.</p>

<p>There might be MC questions but I wouldnt' count on it. if there are, chances are good they will be "multiple multiple-choice" questions.</p>
