Not Enough Material Learned
CHEM 271 is a 2 credit class (instead of usual 3) that learns fewer chapters than Chem 2 at other schools. Students may not learn enough Chem 2 material for MCAT or DAT studying.

Learn The Source of Exam Questions - ~75% of CHEM 271 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.
