My experience in this area is almost 40 years ago. As an incoming freshman interested in Chemistry I took a placement test and qualified for A70 Chem, which was generally for students in the 6 year med program. I was afraid that if I took A70 I would be over my head so I decided to take A02 Chem. Big mistake. A02 turned out to be a cutthroat pre-med burn course where 75% of the students (including me) got C’s. That was one of the two C’s that I received in 4 years, and it was the last Chem course I ever took. From what I heard after the quarter was over it was almost impossible to get less than a B in the A70 Chem class.
