Chemistry Proficiency Test??

[KHH72]

About a year ago I took a basic chemistry class online. I was told by the school that I will be applying to the nursing program at that it was the right chemistry pre req. After I completed the class and transferred it over, they evaluated my transcript and said it was the wrong one.

I am able to take a proficiency test for the right chemistry class at the school and was wondering if anyone has gotten credit for a class through a proficiency test? How was the test set up? Is it similar to a final exam? How many questions? Pass/Fail, or do you get a letter grade? Did you review the book that was used for that specific chemistry class? Was the test easier or harder then you thought it would be?

:) Thanks, Jenny

I'd guess that the test to which they're referring is the chemistry CLEP administered by the College Board (the same lovely folks who bring us the SAT). You can check out their site at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/ex_chem.html and there are tons of CLEP study materials and chemistry stuff both in paper and electronic.

I've not taken it but have done something similar for a credentialing program. They are pass/fail and pretty much cover the general topics covered in a 1-year general chemistry course.

You need to get clarification ASAP about what they're (your school) expecting of you.
