Students who wish to enroll in Chemistry 101 must pass Chemistry 60 in the LACCD with a C grade or better or pass the Chemistry Readiness Exam. The test serves two purposes. It acquaints students with the skills that are needed to succeed in the general chemistry series and it serves to identify those students who are eligible for placement into Chemistry 101. For some students the examination will be a warning that their chances of obtaining a satisfactory grade in Chemistry 101 are very slight and that they should improve their knowledge by enrolling in Chemistry 60. Even though you may pass the readiness exam, if you have limited chemistry laboratory experience you are encouraged to enroll in Chemistry 60 in order to acquire the skills needed for the laboratory in Chemistry 101. A placement exam taken elsewhere cannot replace this exam; you must take it here at Pierce College.

YOU MAY ONLY TAKE THIS EXAM ONCE!

Choose an exam date and time and show-up at the Assessment Center on
that date and time. It is not necessary to contact the Assessment Center to schedule the exam. You will need to bring to the exam a number 2 pencil, your student ID number/social security number and a NON-PROGRAMMABLE calculator. You will be given a periodic table for the exam.

NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENROLL IN CHEMSTRY 101 BEFORE YOU HAVE MET THE MATHEMATICS AND CHEMISTRY PREREQUISITE. YOUR ENROLLMENT IS CONTINGENT UPON SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE ON THIS TEST.
