<p>so as far as I know, if I take the AP Chem test and nail it, then UCSD will make me take the harder course, or let me take the easier course for no credit. It is really tempting to not show up the day of the chem test and take the easy course. </p>
<p>Now before bashing on me for being mean or unfair to other students etc. I really feel like there is no way that the ap chem class at my school is equivalent to the first year of actual chem at UCSD. We did like three or four labs out of the entire year and if I get a good grade on the Chem test, it'll be from prep book stuff etc. Yeah, and labs have been my weak point throughout high school anyways....</p>
<p>Oh, I made it as a Human Biology Major, if that helps you guys answer my question.</p>
<p>Thanks, the replies should be interesting to read lol.</p>
<p>You can take whatever course you want. You just risk getting a higher grade in an easier class, possibly hurting your GPA. I heard if you get a 5 on the AP test, you’re exempt from 3 whole classes, so it would help you in graduating earlier.</p>
<p>It USED to be easy to get credit for the chem 7L lab by bringing in your AP chem notebook and demonstrating that you had already learned how to write a basic lab report, had learned basic techniques (use of a buret, qualitative analysis, calculating stock solutions…), etc. It’s since become harder but technically not impossible.</p>
<p>Just a general question for everybody. If you’re standing in front of a mirror and want to see more of yourself, should you walk closer to the mirror, move further away, or does it matter?</p>
<p>If you move closer to the mirror you could see details more closely and if you mover farther away you could see more of your overall body in the mirror no? I am imagining this in my head though so that’s my thought. let me go check </p>
<p>You can’t see more of yourself by moving away. Most people would say you can and most of us deal with mirrors everyday. It’s this kind of stuff we talk about in my education studies classes. It’s amazing how much the people in my class (as long as everybody else I ask) have trouble explaining basic scientific concepts, even ones we experience every day of ours lives. I’m just trying to pester you guys, and especially astrina. ;)</p>
