Placement Tests Notes on MATH and CHEM
== CHEM ==

First year TAMS students take a chemistry course plus lab. A student can place into honors chemistry based on their performance on the chemistry placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in general chemistry.

When a student is admitted to TAMS, they will start with Pre-Cal (MATH 1650). However, a student can place into higher level math based on their performance on the pre-calculus placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in pre-calculus.
If a student has an SAT math score 750+ '''OR''' ACT composite score of 32+ with a 34+ in the math section '''AND''' a 5 on the AP Calculus exam (AB/BC), they may enroll in Calculus I with permission from TAMS.
Note: If you place into MATH 1650 or 1710 in your first TAMS semester, the math professor you take will be the same for your second semester. For example, if you take Mann first semester for Cal I, you will have him again second semester for Cal II or if you have Brozovic for Pre-Calculus first semester, you will take him again second semester for Cal I.
