<p>Does someone know how to pass this?</p>
<p>It depends a lot on your high school background and test-guessing skills. Most people don’t even take it, but I took it and passed (in high school I did 3 years of bio, 2 years of chem and a semester of “college” psych). If you’ve taken some bio or psychology and you’re a decent test taker, give it a try. There’s not much you can do to prepare for it because there’s such a variety of topics. The famous question is what do warts from a certain STD look like - cauliflower, peas, etc. Incubation periods for STDs, your basic “is alcohol a stimulant or a depressant,” what organ does such-and-such-itis affect. Really random stuff.</p>
<p>The problem with passing the test though is that you then have to take 4 actual PE classes instead of 3. I wish someone had pointed that out to me because I’d rather sit in a classroom taking health than be out running around or anything like that. Plus the actual PE classes are pretty hard to get into as a freshman or sophomore, so when everyone else at least has the one health class out of the way, I still need all 4 PE classes. So passing the test might not be as great as you think it is.</p>
<p>i saw that they make you do a discussion along with the lecture class. how do those go?</p>

<p>Listen to this. It’s better just to take PE101. Easy A, time to study for other classes, and also having Dr. Adame teach you is like going through an Emory rite of passage.</p>
<p>Thanks, everybody I decided not to do it</p>

<p>The discussion sections (just like the lectures) are painstakingly boring. The TA will ramble on in front of the class, trying hard to get students to participate. Students are sympathetic enough to say some things, but no one takes the discussion section seriously. Often during the section, the TA will assign in-class group activities. If it is one of the many sections in which sex is discussed, the sexually experienced TA will condemn unsafe sex, but celebrate safe sex, and then pass on his or her inside sexual tips or secrets to the blooming freshmen.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is what I had in mind to say, but just didn’t want to post. Thanks. lol</p>
<p>I actually disagree with Blaze about the discussion sessions. Everyone I know thought their TA sections were much better than the lectures because people mostly joked around and make dumb skits.</p>
