<p>I've already taken the Math and the Chem. I placed in Math 125 and Chem 105. I took Honors Chem my sophomore year and took ap Calc this year. The tests are nothing to stress over guys. Really. I promise. Chemistry really wasn't that bad. I'd rather be placed in a class I'm more able to handle than one I'd be over my head in. The math does have trig in it and algebra. Pretty minor, I'd say. You don't need to study at all. It would really suck to be put in some awful rugged class and get bogged down by a whole bunch of material that you're completely unfamiliar with. </p>
<p>Seriously guys, the placement tests are nothing to stress over. You all are really smart and I'm sure you'll do really well with no studying.</p>
<p>oh, btw, you're not allowed to bring in any extra materials. You can only use a pencil and an eraser pretty much. No calculators, dictionaries, etc. Not that you really need a calculator for anything.</p>
<p>yellowpages: The highest you can test into is Calc. But a 4 or 5 on the Calc AP will get you out of taking calc.</p>
<p>CubsRule: Chem was pretty easy, and I'm not that great in chem and I haven't opened a chem book in over a year. There was one or 2 stoichiometry. Others include molecular weight/pecentage. I can't really remember anything else though I only took it 2 days ago :/</p>
<p>But, seriously, as said many times before, don't stress. You wouldn't want to be placed in a class you couldn't handle. From what I hear chem classes are very hard, so no sense in overextending yourself.</p>
<p>yellowpages, I had 35/40 on the Math placement exam. They said I did "very well" and the engineering people placed me in Math-126 (Calculus II). I have taken AP Calculus AB (not BC).</p>
<p>Does the Chemistry test require knowledge of the periodic table commited to memory, Or do they provide one for you during the test?. And additionally, are you asked any questions pertaining to the compound naming conventions? (eg -ate, -ide, -ade, etc.) I only ask because I haven't taken chemistry for three years, and if the test is any bit "in-depth" then I might have to review for it tommorow :) (my orientation is on monday).</p>
<p>The theme here that everyone overlooks is: You will be placed in the most appropriate level concerning your individual ability. There is no need to cram for a placement test because it can put you into a class that you are unable to perform as well in. Just take the test knowing what you know and you will find a perfect fit.</p>
<p>Granted, however if you don't remember technical details simply because you've learned them so long ago, then performing poorly on a placement test taken cold (no review whatsoever) may not be an accurate representation of your ability and get you placed in a class that is way too easy.</p>
