Thanks for sharing your opinion. It is always good to hear from another person’s perspective.

S took CC Chem class before his HS sophomore year (3 years ago). We are thinking not to use his AP Chem credit (junior year) because he did try very hard for that class(everything he could do) and still ended up with 2-Bs and a 4 and some unclear concepts. I thought by retaking Chem 1 in college, he could have a better understanding on the concepts and be able to refresh his memory before moving onto Chem 2, a harder class. My biggest concern is, given his condition, I do not know how he can handle Chem 2 right off the start of college.

Sorry, I have some more questions.

1)Premed prereq is 1 year of Gen Chem +Lab. Assume he would take Chem 2 now which means S needs to replace with 1 sem of advanced Chem+Lab. Since he is taking BioChem down the road, does it mean he can use Biochem Lab for the substitution?

2)How much does AP Chem cover in terms of college Gen Chem? AP Chem = Gen Chem 1?
