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!

  • Study Tips for CHEM 131 Exams

    Avoid Distractions

    Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.

    Study the RIGHT Material

    There are no common exams or finals at UMD. This means you should prioritize studying with classmates who are taking the SAME professor.

    Work with a tutor, find a study group, or talk to your professor if you get stuck.
