-- Posted by EarthEmpire at 8:54 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 I have a 5 in AP Chem, so I can use it and not take first year chem in university. Saves money. But on the other hand, maybe I should take it as a review (and to maybe boost up my GPA, I know chem well). Should I skip first year chem or not? -- Posted by endoftheline at 8:55 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 If you can afford it, go for it. -- Posted by pujolsfan at 8:55 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 Dont take it again. take the AP test -- Posted by whirlgoesround at 8:56 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 DEPENDS ON MAJOR -- Posted by EarthEmpire at 8:56 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 Quote: from whirlgoesround at 9:56 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 DEPENDS ON MAJOR Engineering... -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 8:57 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 If you don't need to take a class, don't.  The sooner you get out of college the better.  It means thats less money you have to pay, and the sooner you can get a job and become (hopefully) successful. -- Posted by TigressaLynnMae at 5:30 am on Sep. 10, 2008 It depends on your major, and whether or not this Chem would be integral to your later life. Most majors in the Science field should take intro Chem. -- Posted by RedSprouts at 5:34 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 If you did that well on the AP test then you most likely will not need to take the equivalent class.  As an alternative, you can sign up for both chemistry courses in the series and drop one if you feel its either too easy or too hard.
