What to look out for in UMD CHEM 131
-
Past Exam Keys
Tutor with me to gain access to my extensive CHEM 131 exam keys. Most professors do not share enough old exams and students lack relevant practice problems.
-
Curve Setback
Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 131 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.
-
Exam 1 Confusion
The most confusing topic in Exam 1 in CHEM 131 is quantum mechanics and wavelengths. This is due to greek symbols, weird units, and multiple new equations.
-
Make-Up Exam Policy
75% of professors have their makeup exams a few days before the final. Students are frequently surprised they are comprehensive exams, which feels like a 2nd final!
