I just got back from orientation. I got a 5 on my AP Chem exam, and when I told the person working with me (not an orientation advisor, it was someone from the biochem department) that I wanted to retake chemistry and not accept the credit, he advised me to sign up for General Chemistry for Majors (CHEM 1055) as opposed to regular General Chemistry (CHEM 1035). Can someone please tell me the difference between the two (preferably in as much depth as possible) as well as your personal opinions & advice about this.

Thank you.
