Was it the ACS exam?

What the actual f
how
Don't get too worked up. I walked out of my first Orgo I exam thinking "I probably scored ~40% on that". I did, and it was above the mean. As long as everyone else failed just as hard you end up alright!
^tbh I don't know what the ACS exam is

2 are optional and one I tested out of.
Oh. It's the nationally standardized cumulative organic chemistry test. I think there's one for general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Probably some other courses as well.
how does one test out of a test?
How widely is this used for course finals?

They drop the lowest, so I can take the 0. I guess "test out" isn't the best choice of words for that.
Dunno. I took the general chemistry ACS at my community college. I'm at a 4 year state school now and it's administered here and at all of the branch campuses.
edit: typo

We use the ACS for gen, organic and biochem.
Pretty ORGANIC if you asked me LULZ.
Sorry I just had to work that in. Don't worry you probably did fine!
I take mine in like 3 and a half hours and I have lost all drive to study anymore for it
Shh! Don't say that! I take mine in a week and I'm no where near ready for it! I'm not doing so hot in the class (and by that I mean failing), but he made a deal with me that whatever I get on the final is what I will get in the class. I still have yet to start studying.

I got a 96 on my derm test if that makes you feel any better
sooooo how'd it go
Well hopefully you did better than you thought you did! I find that sometimes that's the case when I didn't feel great coming out.
You're telling me your professor made a deal replacing your current failing grade for whatever you get on the final, and you still haven't started studying?
Rather fail a TB test than a school test.
Ugh same here, failed a lab final yesterday. I'm looking at a C+ in this class for the semester. still very depressed
Loving that new avatar, Senpai. You never cease to impress me.
Edit: The Griffin w/ the Santa hat was my favorite, though.
@efle
We use the ACS exam as a midterm, and the national percentile we score in is our percent on the test. So if you are in the 99th percentile, you score 99% on the test.

Lol!! Well in my defense he didn't tell me this until yesterday and I had other final projects and presentations going on today.You're telling me your professor made a deal replacing your current failing grade for whatever you get on the final, and you still haven't started studying?

Got a 92.5% on my O Chem 2 final. I'm stoked. I did awful in Gen Chem but was consistently top 5 in classes of 320+ people for O Chem. I realize no one cares, but I'm excited.

My O Chem 2 final was terribly hard, but I came out of the class with an A- so I'll take it.

The correct way to pronounce "orgo".
Seriously, wtf do people say orgo? It's not orgonic chemistry.
There's one for instrumental methods of analysis as well.
I think its to take away its power. Like when you call someone you don't like the wrong name on purpose. Or like a spiteful nickname

That means a lot
If memory serves me correctly, I failed my orgo II final. That sucked because I had an A average for the class otherwise. Ended up getting a B overall.
That's when I learned it wasn't wise to cram for 4 exams which would all be taken within the span of 24 hours. My orgo II exam was my last one of the series and I couldn't think for the life of me by that point.

This is bad but all I recall is that one of the SN2 reactions involves a backside attack.
