What to look out for in UMD CHEM 135

    • Homework Points

    UMD professors rarely base exam questions off of the online homework system - they are just for extra points. Ignoring them may tank your grade by 1 letter.

      Exam Practice

    ~50% of UMD chemistry professors share a portion of their old exams and keys for students to practice (but not their complete exam set). Only 1 professor shares their complete exam set. Tutor with me 1-on-1 to find out who that is!

      Course Similarities

    The only difference between CHEM 131 and CHEM 135 are Exam 3 topics. Exam 3 for CHEM 135 tests on different, harder topics than Exam 3 in CHEM 131. This includes Kinetics and Electrochemistry.

      Organic Chemistry

    At UMD, CHEM 135 teaches 20% of organic chemistry reactions. This extra material catches students by surprise since it involves different applied thinking. A tutor like myself, who has mastered both Gen Chem and Orgo, is best suited to help you navigate the peculiarities of this class.

    • Study Tips for CHEM 135 Exams

    Ask Questions

    Be bold and ask direct questions when you're stuck - there's value in wrong answers so you can recognize and avoid them.

    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.

    Avoid Distractions

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

    Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 135?

    • Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 135 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.

      Access To Joy's Extensive Resources - Get access to my entire exam key collection and homework answers for UMD.

      Accelerated Catch Up - If you're behind, I'll help you catch up 10x faster than studying on your own using private resources.

      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.
