I want to take Chem 131. Why do I need to take a placement test?
Students who enroll in Chem 131 are expected to have previously completed a chemistry class so that they are prepared for the rapid pace of this rigorous course. Past experience has shown that students who are unprepared for the class often drop out or perform poorly. The placement test helps to insure that all students in the class have the same minimum set of skills. Students who have completed Chem 110 at EdCC with a grade of 2.0 or better do not need to take the placement test.
