Welcome Fall 2008 New Students! - Northwestern University: McCormick School of Engineering
Chemistry - You will only need to take this exam if you wish to try to place into a higher level course than your AP/IB credit (or lack thereof) would place you.
Physics - The material in the first quarter of calculus-based Physics (Physics 135-1) is actually covered in the Engineering Analysis course sequence (GEN_ENG 205/206-1,2,3,4) required of engineering majors, so most students would only take this exam if they have extremely extensive physics background and did not earn credit from AP/IB exams.
