<p>I’m going to assume that you’re going for the first intro to chem course. I may be mistaken, but I think English comp is only available in a FIG for fall quarter (except for 1-2 classes, which are closed by now). If you’re okay with a FIG (lots of pros and cons, check the other threads for everyone’s input on it :D), then you could probably grab a English comp/Intro Chem FIG. </p>
<p>Depending on what you plan on majoring in, finishing certain math classes will open up more classes for you since sometimes they’re prerequisites. However, if you don’t feel ready for a more advanced class, please take your time with the courses! :)</p>
<p>Hm, don’t listen to that page. Check out this instead: [Undergraduate</a> Placement Exams - Onsite Testing - Testing Center - Services - Office of Educational Assessment](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/oea/services/testing_center/exams/placement.html]Undergraduate”>http://www.washington.edu/oea/services/testing_center/exams/placement.html)</p>
<p>Basically from M-Th, you can take the placement test. Monday/Thursday is the first day for A&O every week, so that’s why the test is in the morning right before orientation starts. A lot of people just take it the morning of the first day of their A&O. Go a bit early and sign up via walk in. You don’t have to contact the math department. There are instructions on the link in this post and I think you can find practice questions as well.</p>
