What are the graduate placement exams and do I have to worry about them?
These exams must be taken before your class schedule and plan of study can be completed. They consist of the American Chemical Society’s standardized tests in organic, physical, analytical and inorganic chemistry. The organic and physical are especially important, and you must obtain higher than a 50%ile (percentile), or additional remedial courses in the area may be required. These exams are offered the week before classes begin.
