If you’re premed, you might want to make sure that the med schools you want to apply to will either take AP (honestly, I wouldn’t take that chance…they could change the rules between now and then) or they don’t require a year of INTRO chem. You could ask some advisors what they think. However, I think I remember one advisor saying that you could skip the first semester, and then prove you know your chem by doing really well second semester. shrugs

If you’re not premed, then just go ahead and take the second semester. First semester is basically review and if you got a 5 on your exam, I’m pretty sure you’ll be alright. Just make sure you understand what’s taught in 1st semester because not only do you need the info in 2nd semester, but everything seems to creep up in organic.

Or, if you know your chem, you could just take 1st semester and get the A.
