The actual Proficiency Examination is administered by the faculty member on campus. See the schedule of classes for the scheduled proficiency exam date (see schedule of classes for the exam dates) Student in this category definitely appear to be qualified to bypass CHEM107 and go directly to CHEM111A. All students who have not already met the prerequisite will need to take and pass the actual Chemistry Proficiency examination on the first day of class, however Students in this category may be qualified to bypass CHEM107 and go directly to CHEM111A. All students who have not already met the prerequisite will need to take and pass the actual chemistry proficiency examination on the first day of class, however It is recommended that students in this category take CHEM 107. Students who disagree with this recommendation should diligently study for the actual Chemistry Proficiency Examination, which is given on the first day of class. 0-9 It is strongly recommended that students in this category take CHEM 107.
