What to look out for in UMD CHEM 131

    • 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.

      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.

      Exam 3 Overlap

    Exam 3 tests on the same chapters as Exam 1 and 2 in CHEM 271. You could potentially ask upperclassmen for help, or tutor 1-on-1 with me to gain clarity for this class.

      High Drop Rate

    CHEM 131 is a weed-out class and the department knows it. A drop rate of 20% is not uncommon no matter who the professor is.

  • Study Tips for CHEM 131 Exams

    Don't Cram

    Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.

    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.

    Get Help Early

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