<p>You just take chem lab second semester, they don’t have enough sections for everyone to take it first semester. Chem lab doesn’t correspond terribly well with the lecture and isn’t nearly as difficult (lots of fluff points given out) so I wouldn’t worry about it. The only trouble spot would be later in the course when it starts testing more obscure memorization topics that you may have forgotten (e.g. VESPER, redox reactions, etc.)</p>
<p>As far as English goes, if he has taken any AP/IB exams he may have credit for English. High SAT scores might also give credit, but don’t quote me on that.</p>
