Title: How hard is it to do well in Fundamentals of Chemistry to get into Chemistry 2?
Post by: ReganM on January 24, 2012, 10:52:54 am: I think I need to do Chem 2 for a pre-req for Vet Science, but I didn't do Chem in VCE. D:

It says I'll have to achieve at a "high level" to be able to move form Fundamentals -> Chem 2, but what is considered a high level?

Thanks guys. :)

If not you have to do Chemistry 1 in semester 2 and Chemistry 2 over summer, but as long as you work hard, I'm sure you'll be fine :)
