nate23, i did the ib programme as well and decided to take chem 151 (i placed into 155 – i just couldn’t stand waking up THAT early) and biol 101, my ib highers. it’s definately doable. you might have a problem trying to take all those placement tests because the times overlap during orientation week (if i remember correctly). i don’t think you should bother trying to place out of bio because i’ve heard that placing out is almost impossible and i wouldn’t recommend it (ib bio is nothing compared to 101). for chem, try to get into 153 or 155 (if you can place into 155, you get to skip 256), so that’s a plus. 151 would be all review. for math, your ib scores would determine which course you would take so i don’t think the placement test is necessary. hope this helps! :-)
