<p>Hi so I'll be a freshman at U of M next year and I'm taking gen chem (130) with the lab (125 + 126) and calc 1 (115), I wanted to know how time consuming/hard they would be. I took AP chem in high school and got a 3 on the test, and I took BC calc but didn't take the test. So since I already have a basic understanding of most of the content I wanted to know it the classes would be difficult. Right now I'm only taking 14 credits and I wanted to know if I could possible take 17 since I have a basic understanding of the stuff already.</p>
<p>I tested out of gen chem and calc 1 before I ever got to college. They are honestly the easiest courses ever and you will NOT have a problem. Stop stressing so much. :)</p>
<p>To graduate on time, you should have 16 credits/semester. Since you’ve partially seen the material for two classes, I’d say go for the 17 credits.</p>
<p>These classes were actually pretty bad, since they’re considered “weeder” classes. </p>
<p>D. was at different UG and Gen. Chem was her easiest science class (pre-med). Do not know the level at U of M. D’s school had many various Gen. Chem. classes. She took the one that was enough for pre-med and it was just fine for her MCAT. Gen. Chem for engineers might be harder though.</p>
<p>Gen Chem and Cal 1 should be fine especially since you took AP Chem and BC (which is actually the equivalent of completing Cal 2!!). I took Gen Chem at a public university, and first semester was extremely easy. I hadn’t even taken AP Chem in high school (just a year of pre-AP). First semester is basically a review of honors chemistry. 2nd semester was much more difficult for me because we were learning all new material (I’m not a chem person), but I still managed to make an A. You should have an easier time since the entire year should be a review for you.</p>
<p>No one knows what “M” is. Michigan? Minnesota? Maine? Montana? One of the other several states that starts with an “M?”</p>
<p>Try asking in the U of M sub board for more ideas.</p>
