All multiple choice.

A 4 on the AP test places you out of the class, 130, but does not place you out of the lab, 125/126. The reason there is a distinction is because all engineers are required to take a chemistry class and a chemistry lab. With a 4 on the AP test, you would not be required to take the class to meet the general chemistry requirement, but you would be required to take the lab. If your goal is to take Organic Chemistry, then you can just count the orgo lab towards that requirement. I’m guessing unless you completely bomb the placement test, they’ll let you go straight to orgo because of AP credit.
