<p>Are we allowed to bring in a one-page formula sheet for the Chem 101/102 and Math 104/114/240 Placement Exams? </p>
<p>In addition, I know that we are allowed to bring in a non-graphing calculator for Chem, but how about for Math? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The conditions are like a final in the course so no calculator for math, we have never been allowed to use one on any math test I have taken at Penn (I took 114 and 240). You can bring a formula sheet though because we were allowed to do that. On the chem 101 placement exam, you can bring a non-programmable calculator but no note sheet (at least that’s how it was last year when I took it).</p>
<p>is there an advantage to taking Chem 101 even if place out of on placement exam</p>
<p>well if you pass the placement test, you get credit for that class- just as if you took it at Penn. Thus- you’re advisers will not want you to take the same class “again” at Penn - though I am unsure if they can actually stop you.
As for an advantage- I see none. Maybe to get an easy A? But if that’s the case there are certainly easier classes.</p>
