OK...i did search in the FAQ but couldnt find the answer. I took OChem 1 at my university and it had a 3301 prefix.. I retook it at another D1 school and it had a 2401 prefix....Same freakin class but diff. prefixes. Will the second Ochem 1 attempt replace the first even though it had a dif course number. Again...course description is the same. As a matter of fact, most schools have o chem as a 2000 lvl class....i dunno why my school has it at a 3300... Thanks for any advice or direction.

I'm pretty sure it will count as a retake.

I think it should as long as they have the same course descriptions. My O-chem series had a "108" prefix and the second time I took it at a different school it was completely different and they counted it as a re-take, so I would imagine you wouldn't have any problem.
