<p>Information about the Analytical Writing Placement Exam is available online. Please take this test in May, if at all possible. A Chemistry online placement exam is also available and helpful if you plan to take General Chemistry. Online language placement exams are available for French, German, Italian, & Spanish as well. If you have passing AP scores for Chemistry, or any of these languages, you do not need to take the exam.</p>

<p>What do you mean by online chemistry testing. Wouldn't you be able to cheat if they allow that. What happen if you fail the test?, does that mean you can't take general chemsitry (1st quarter). How many times can you take it.</p>

<p>Placement tests are to find the appropriate level courses for you to start with. You can only take these tests once. Sure, you can cheat and you would be place in a higher level course than you are qualified for and you probably won't do well...It will catch up with you...It is better to have a good grounding of fundamental courses so you could do well in your more advanced and/or upper division courses... ;-)</p>
