hey, i was in the same position as u. i got a 4 on the AP chem test, and needed the 3quarters of gen chem for med school requirements. i just retook chem6A even though it doesnt count for credit, med schools will be able to see the grade i got when i took it at ucsd…so they might factor that into the GPA.

the chem honors series is wayy more difficult, but the curve is definitely more generous…

i guess what it breaks down to is, do u want the credit to count for your GPA? also, u can try to petition to be able to retake 6A for credit…say something about needing to strengthen your fundamentals…u took the test too long ago…i dunno MAYBE they’ll let u take 6A for credit, and maybe they won’t. but, there’s no harm in petitioning…worse thing that happens is u wont get credit for retaking 6A.
