<p>I utterly failed the placement test...</p>

<p>Bad chem teacher this year, so i blew all the solution problems. Physics B i did for AP in jr year. BUT i forgot most of it and by test time i was tired, hungry and wated to go home. </p>

<p>Anway Chem 73% and physics2 71% </p>

<p>Recommended classes are Chem 1A (i'm freakishly embarrassed) and Physics 2 or 7A (dependeds on the major) So much for a 710 on the SAT's 2...</p>

<p>ADVICE: Study EVERYTHING you learned on the first 4 weeks of school. It's all basic information with math on it (includes basic calc)</p>

<p>I must seriously suck...</p>

<p>You haven't really "failed". For Chem, if you get below ~70%, you might get placed in Chem 1P. I Think to get to Chem 1B or so you might need 90%+ or something high like that. For Physics, I'm guessing it's not really possible to "fail" as I don't think a pre-req physics class really exists. Anyways, good luck at UCI!</p>

<p>isn't chem 1a the highest you can place in to unless you're in the CHP and wanted H2A</p>

4

<p>chem 1a is the normal class lol</p>

5

<p>THANKS ShoeFactory,</p>

<p>I thought it was 1A, then the Chem2 then the Honors class. Proctor mentioned something about 3 classes. </p>

<p>oh well, and for physics i should be fine!</p>

6

<p>to get placed in H2A do u HAVE to be in CHP?</p>

7

<p>what happens if I'm in CHP and I got a 73% on the chem test? can I still enroll in H2A if I want to?</p>

8

<p>If you are in CHP youre already placed into H2A
If you are not in CHP, you can get like 90% or something to be placed into H2A.</p>

<p>If you think you can handle the courseload and challenge, take H2A, it's an awesome class. Best teachers i've ever had, and very intriguing class.</p>

9

<p>so I didn't have to take the placement test? :/</p>

10

<p>No you don't</p>

<p>you p[robabl'y didn't need to take the writing test either because you prob got exempted from it in 3 different ways.</p>

11

<p>wait i am not in CHP and got a 90% and still only got placed in 1a. that's weird</p>

12

<p>ok maybe its 95% i dunno didnt take the test lol</p>

13

<p>On the Chem placement website (Chemistry</a>) it says that you can qualify for Chem H2A if you got at least a 700 in SAT Chem test..which i did, but i never took AP Chem so do i still have to take the placement test or will i directly be able to enroll into H2A?</p>

<p>go call them to make sure.</p>
