<p>If you have 0 exposure to chem, I would think you would get owned by any easy chem test especially if you don't know moles or balancing equations.</p>
<p>What I'm trying to find out from this thread (along with everyone else) is what I need to know for the chem placement test because I honestly think my courses did not cover enough. If it's on titration, moles, balancing equations, le chateliers, concentrations...I'm cool with it. I actually got a proficient on the STAR testing for chem lol...didn't know quite a bit, but logic in mc helps.</p>
<p>Also, as someone who has taken it, I say you shouldn't worry about it. The exam was very basic. (No pun intended, haaa...) Seriously though, a lot of the material reminded me of middle-school chemistry. Make sure you know that there are 6 sides to a cube, because I swear that was one of the questions they asked.</p>
<p>I know how nervous you may feel. Here are some tips on doing well on the placement exam although it's VERY easy. In the link provided by Jessica, the section under "What Should I Study..." lists all the topics you need to cover. This is seriously ALL the topics you need to know. As you can see, it's very easy. To find material on all those topics, I'd recommend investing in an SAT2 chemistry book. If there is some material on the internet that will teach it, use that instead (I don't know of any unless it's for math). You'll be fine :]. I hope this helps.</p>
<p>chem major with pre-dent path...
im really interested in becoming a dentist and uci is my realistic first choice...
are people there who took pre-dent path usually end up at dent school??
also i did not take ap calc since my school did not offer it this year..so im taking ap stats instead...does that hurt for chem major??(i dont know how much math and science are related...)</p>
<p>ah and chem placement test is easier than ap test right??ap test was dang hard...because i took ap chem without any regular chem class..</p>
<p>the chem test should be a piece of cake compared to the AP test...so dont sweat it. check the thread for more advice and Jess0607's post for the links regarding the matter.</p>
<p>AP stats will help get you general elective credit that you need, but you will need to take calc when you come to UCI or any other UC for that matter. Most Bio/pre-(med/dent) have to take 3 quarters of math, so calc A/B is needed and then the third quarter can be stats, but it is recommended that you take Multivariable as well.</p>
<p>Math and science are pretty related, but it depends on what science you are going into. Bio sciences are pretty independent of math for the most part in comparison to chem and physics which rely on their core principles being based on math.</p>
<p>I thought I said earlier that my school's chem dept isn't that great. We don't have an ap chem at all and our honors chem is a joke. By the way you guys, I'm not really freaking out. I was just wondering if the test was all that bad because I'm a potential chem major and I really don't want to start in a terrible course you guys were referring to. The test is apparently not that hard, so that's settled.</p>
<p>sry for changing the subject, but i looked on the AP policy thing for UCI, and spanishlangAP & the spanlitAP get u out of 2 sequences (1 & 2 ABC) </p>
<p>what's the requirement(s) generally regarding foreign languages?</p>
<p>For foreign language you need to have taken three consecutive years of a language in the same language and have gotten a B/B+ (not sure on grade, will check into it) in the third semester to be exempt from the foreign language requirements.</p>
<p>i think that is pretty much the reqs for that part. i will check into it to make sure there aren't any other clauses or exceptions as well as the grade issue.</p>
<p>that would be fine as long as they were consecutive years. and no there is no need to take the AP test at all...let me find the final grade for you and post again tomm regarding that matter...</p>
<p>is that other req multicultural studies and humanistic inquiry one (7a/7b)? i cant think of anything else that has to do with language and a breadth</p>
<p>Hi guys,
I just wanted to know if the Writing courses increase in difficulty as the year progresses. For example, is writing 39B harder or easier in the fall than it is in the winter? When did you guys finish with your writing requirement? </p>
<p>^edit to my previous post: I think I was vague in my question...
What I mean is that if fewer individuals take a course like Writing 39B in the spring, does that mean the course gets harder assuming fewer professors teach as well?</p>
<p>Also, anyone taken Math 2B in the spring, how hard is it?
Thanks</p>
