CHEM1001 or CHEM1101? (1 Viewer)

[Arv21]

I'm thinking of doing two units of junior chem this year for my course and was wondering which would be better suited for someone who did chem in high school but took general math as well. Assumed knowledge for CHEM1101 are chem and mathematics where areas for CHEM1001 there is no assumed knowledge. Would you still be able to do well (I'm aiming distinction-ish) in CHEM1101 without the mathematical background or would I just be better off doing fundamentals?

Thanks!

You should definately do normal level. You are more likely to get a higher mark.

Um, which are you referring to when you say normal level?

I think he means CHEM1101.

I'd strongly suggest CHEM1101 (the normal/regular one), the scaling will be better than in fundamentals. Personally I found that chem1101 wasn't too difficult as long as you kept on top of everything, i don't think that having done general maths will disadvantage you! Good Luck!

Is it like that will all subjects eg maths, chem, bio where if you do harder subjects it scales better? I need to maintain a good gpa coz i wanna transfer to med.

Yes, the harder versions scale significantly better.

Definitely do CHEM1101 - the maths involved is pretty much just basic algebra such as logarithms and rearranging equations.
