<p>I plan to take Gen Chemistry placement test and I saw there are some quizzes here on the Chemistry website to practise. But this requires student ID and I have not received it. Do u guys have any ideas?</p>
<p>sorry it is practise quiz. Just be so careless.</p>
<p>Try calling the department. I had the same problem with the calc placement test, and the person who runs it told me that it is self-reporting and the id number doesn’t matter (he told me to just put in 00000). You also might just want to wait a few days because I hear that numbers are mailed on Monday.</p>
<p>Actually the chem one isn’t self-reported.<br>
This is because if you don’t “pass,” they suggest you go into the 1.5 hour recitation instead of the regular 1 hour long one.</p>
<p>What’s the point of taking a general chem eval test? Isn’t Gen Chem the easiest level of chemistry?</p>
<p>^ Johnson, is this all the test determines? If you pass, you go to a 1 hour recitation instead of a 1.5 hour one? is this a one time lecture?</p>
<p>Also, I’m confused about requesting credit for college courses. If we’ve taken official “AP Courses” at our school and are having our scores sent to WashU, do we need to fill out that transcript and mail it back to them?</p>
<p>
It’s very sad that you can’t hear my laughter right now.</p>
<p>The recitations are a weekly thing. It’s when quizzes are given.</p>
<p>And what transcript are you talking about? So long as you have your scores sent, WashU will automatically deal with it.</p>
<p>hahah, i know gen chem must be hard, but is it possible to not even be placed in that? I guess that was my real question. </p>
<p>The transcript I was talking about is this piece of paper where it asks us to write down the names of the courses we want credit for and asks us to send our final transcript (which we all do anyways) It doesn’t say anything about if they’re AP’s, WashU will handle them automatically.</p>
<p>
No, not at all. You can’t “fail” the practice, so don’t bother stressing out over it. It’s really not as big of a deal as all incoming freshmen (including myself last year) seem to think it is.</p>
<p>No idea about the piece of paper thing- so long as your AP’s/IB’s are sent to WashU directly from collegeboard/whatever IB is, WashU will automatically take note of it. However, they’re probably using this just to make sure everything goes through correctly, as well as for credit from college classes taken locally during high school.</p>
