Sorry to hear that. I hope you pull the grade you want.

 

[Hospitalized]

Was it the ACS exam?

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!

 

[staceycane]

^tbh I don't know what the ACS exam is

 

[deleted407021]

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!

 

[takeurmeds02]

I take mine in like 3 and a half hours and I have lost all drive to study anymore for it

 

[ZombieDante]

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.

 

[deleted407021]

for real, tho

 

[sliceofbread136]

I got a 96 on my derm test if that makes you feel any better

 

[staceycane]

sooooo how'd it go

 

[Theafoni]

I pulled an all nighter last night because I thought my lab report was due today. MFW it wasn't due today in lab like normal but in discussion tomorrow

 

[NeuResurgens]

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.

 

[DrHart]

at least it wasn't a TB test. find jesus. you are blessed to have the opportunity to take o chem.

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.

 

[northernlights15]

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.

 

[ZombieDante]

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?

Lol!! Well in my defense he didn't tell me this until yesterday and I had other final projects and presentations going on today.

 

[Garurumon]

Good news: In my ochem 2 class there's a bonus assignment that's worth 12 extra points on the final, equivalent to 3 points to my average.

Bad news: The final is infamously hella hard.

 

[takeurmeds02]

sooooo how'd it go

meeehhhhh, I feel comfortable haha. Not my best work but what's done is done.

 

[moisne]

Lol - I don't remember any of Ochem...

 

[deleted577188]

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.

 

[AvacadosAtLaw]

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

 

[NontradCA]

What is O Chem?

The correct way to pronounce "orgo".

Seriously, wtf do people say orgo? It's not orgonic chemistry.

 

[EthylMethylMan]

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.

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

 

[deleted577188]

That means a lot

 

[CherryRedDracul]

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.
