How hard is general chemistry in college

<p>if I got a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam, and I take General Chemistry 1 and 2?</p>

<p>I didn’t take AP chemistry in high school, but I struggled with the class in college. Put, chemistry is not something I’ve very good at (and I took the first portion for 8 hours every Saturday…awful) so…</p>

<p>Since you’ve been exposed to it previously, you know some of it going into the class and you know a way to approach the material, it shouldn’t be extremely difficult for you.</p>

<p>Easy for me. For the last few midterms/finals, I haven’t done any studying or practice problems (except for the few assigned weekly as part of the online homework system) until the night before the exam, and yet I still managed to get only 1-2 questions wrong. I really hate labs, however. They are extremely time consuming (much more than the actual class itself).</p>

<p>If you got a 5 on the AP, why are you taking it in college?</p>

<p>Chem 221 was insanely easy. I got a 95% in it. That’s all I had to take though so I can’t comment on the rest.</p>

<p>I’m taking Chemistry because I’m doing pre-med</p>

<p>It is very easy, and seeing you have taken AP Chem, you should have no problems.</p>

<p>Gosh, I would’ve hated having the lot of you in my chem class throwing off curves. Lol. In both of my classes, the average grade was a C.</p>

<p>Gen chem is always a horrible class in my college. It isn’t actually that hard though, you have to study though. I think a lot of the bad grades come down to freshmen not ready for exactly how college science works and the fact one of the professors purposefully made the test difficult.</p>

<p>With a 5 on an AP test you should be able to get out of gen chem. I’m not sure if it shows up as a transfer credit or whatever but you’ll have the credit and be able to go on to the next level of chem or whatever.</p>

<p>He could get out of the requirement for the degree, but not all med schools take AP credit. It is better to take it, do well and establish a high GPA and play it safe then to limit your med school scope.</p>
