What are the Biology and Chemistry Competency Exams for Anatomy and Physiology?
The Biology and Chemistry Competency Exams for Anatomy and Physiology test academic preparation and background knowledge for Biology 145 (Anatomy and Physiology I). The exams do not test a student’s knowledge of anatomy and physiology, but rather test biology and chemistry competency in preparation for anatomy and physiology coursework. A score of 70% or higher on the Biology Competency Exam will allow a student to waive the prerequisite of Biology 100, 101 or 105. A score of 70% or higher on the Chemistry Competency Exam will allow a student to waive the prerequisite of Chemistry 101 or 110. The results of the competency exams are valid for two academic years. If a student takes a competency exam but does not score 70% or higher, 然而希望再试一次能力考试, the student may re-take it two academic years after the previous attempt.
请注意: Regardless of a student’s score on either competency exam, the student must fulfill the other prerequisites for Biology 145, which are: a student must complete REA 098 and MATH 080 (or COMPASS equivalent) and the student must be eligible for (as determined by COMPASS score or other assessment) or currently enrolled in college-level English courses (100-level or greater).
