<p>Don’t lots of people fail the first test (or if not that, the second) anyway? My friend with AP credit took 142 and failed the first exam (he got straight 100s+ on the rest so still got an A. Luckily he had Mulford so he had 4 more chances). I thought that the test was designed for recommendation purposes only. No appeal is needed if they recommend that you take chem 140 or w/e it is. You can still enroll in 141 w/o explaining yourself.</p>
