<p>I am incomming engineer and have to take the Math, Physics, and Chemistry exams. I am not too worried about Math but concerned about Physics and Chemistry as I haven't covered it since Junior Year and have forgotten quite a bit. Does anyone know what topics I should focus on? Thanks</p>
<p>I’m also an incoming engineer and I don’t think there is a physics placement exam. If you know stoichiometry, you will do fine on the chem placement test, as that is pretty much the extent of what it covers. The math placement test is a little more sophisticated and it covers pretty much every pre-calc topic one can imagine. In fact, some of the topics covered (horizontal, slant asymptotes for example) I did not learn until calculus.</p>
<p>yo just had a question wats on the placement test, i mean how many problems for each how long will it take for each??</p>
<p>@ SleepyAlligator: There is a Physics Placement Test which is compulsory for incoming engineers. You can access this Placement test by going to IStart Website —> College Homework Tutorial. </p>
<p>I take it that you have completed the Math Placement Test? How did you fare(score)? Does it test up to the SAT I Math/ SAT II Math Level 2 level or is it even harder than that? Also, is Stoichiometry all that is tested for Chemistry? How did you do on that?</p>
<p>Did they ask you what AP tests you had taken etc. before you took the test? I thought they were supposed to get information for the advisor before orientation in addition to the placement tests.</p>
<p>The AP Test info you give to them in the College Homework. The math placement test pretty much tested knowledge of functions and some pretty basic algebra. I was just surprised that it asked for horizontal and slant asymptotes, as I thought the only way to find horizontal asymptotes is limits at infinity and negative infinity, which is obviously a tenet of calculus.</p>
<p>I got a 93% on the math placement test (70% and above are treated the same) and you don’t know what you get on the chem test until registration.</p>
<p>Concerning the Physics placement test, I am in Chemical Engineering, which is technically in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, so it may not be required of me. I cannot find it under “Take Placement Tests”; all that is listed for me are Chem, Math, and Language.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information Alli. Appreciated.</p>
