What to look out for in UMD CHEM 131

    • Exam 3 Overlap

    Exam 3 tests on the same chapters as Exam 1 and 2 in CHEM 271. You could potentially ask upperclassmen for help, or tutor 1-on-1 with me to gain clarity for this class.

      Make-Up Exam Policy

    75% of professors have their makeup exams a few days before the final. Students are frequently surprised they are comprehensive exams, which feels like a 2nd final!

      High Drop Rate

    CHEM 131 is a weed-out class and the department knows it. A drop rate of 20% is not uncommon no matter who the professor is.

      Curve Setback

    Students frequently have classmates who have taken CHEM 131 before, making it their 2nd attempt (or even 3rd attempt) and therefore putting first-timers at a disadvantage for the grading curve.

    • Study Tips for CHEM 131 Exams

    Avoid Distractions

    Silence your phone, videos and tell family to stop bugging you to create a focused environment.

    Study the RIGHT Material

    There are no common exams or finals at UMD. This means you should prioritize studying with classmates who are taking the SAME professor.

    Don't Cram

    Plan ahead at least 2 weeks. Study by chapter so you absorb in digestible chunks.

    Why Tutor With Me for CHEM 131?

    • Tech Savvy Tutor - I know the ins and outs of online meeting software, like Zoom, Webex and Join.me. I'll easily fix your tech issues as well to ensure our session runs smoothly.

      Excel on What's "Actually" Tested - ~75% of UMD professors recycle old exam questions. Some professors repeat entire exams verbatim, some repeat only 1 or 2 questions per test.

Tutor 1-on-1 with me and I’ll help you translate Chemistry into English so you can answer quickly and correctly.

      Accelerated Catch Up - If you're behind, I'll help you catch up 10x faster than studying on your own using private resources.

      Learn to Sound Smart with Your Professor - Learn how to shine among your peers by visiting office hours often with "smart" questions ready in hand - I'll teach you how and what questions to ask and get the most out of 1-on-1 face time during professor office hours.
