What to look out for in UMD CHEM 131
-
Not Enough Resources
Students frequently make the long trek to office hours just to take pictures of old exams. Sometimes they encounter canceled office hours or a 20+ minute wait just to enter. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this struggle, as I'll provide you my whole exam set!
-
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.
-
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

Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 131?
Exam Tips and Tricks - Exam 2 is baby organic chemistry and Exam 3 is the “grade killer” - Exam 3 will tank an A grade to C, and a C grade to failing. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to avoid this common pitfall!
Excel on What's "Actually" Tested - ~75% of UMD professors recycle old exam questions. Some professors repeat entire exams verbatim, some repeat only 1 or 2 questions per test. Yet, having seen them, students still don’t know how to begin due to confusing wording. Tutor 1-on-1 with me and I’ll help you translate Chemistry into English so you can answer quickly and correctly.
Exam Technology Tricks - Learn to maximize the limited time provided during online exams. I'll teach you how to optimize linear or non-linear exams, and think calmly during the stressful hour.
Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 131 UMD professors create their own exam questions. ~25% of professors pull from outside sources (such as textbooks) that students are not aware of. As part of 1-on-1 tutoring, I’ll prioritize your access to resources, so you know which questions to study and most likely tested in class.
