Many students need to complete Chemistry for their intended program.
CHEM 1061/1065 Principles of Chemistry I is the beginning of the Chemistry sequence. To determine if you are ready for CHEM 1061/1065, you must take the Math Placement Exam. A minimum placement in Math 1151, Precalculus II, is required to be eligible to take CHEM 1061/1065.
Review the following. If you are still unsure if you need to take a placement exam,
