Sample Chemistry 115 Placement Exam
Sample Chemistry 115 Placement Exam
Please note that the sample exam is designed to illustrate the type and degree of
difficulty of the exam questions; it does not include questions from all of the topics that
will be on the actual placement exam. Simply studying the sample exam questions will
not prepare you for the placement exam.
Instructions: To use this exam as an indication of readiness for the placement exam,
give yourself 11 minutes to take the exam. If you can get 6 or more questions correct in
11 minutes, you are on track to get a passing grade on the Chem 115 placement exam.
Answers are on page three of this document, so just print the first two pages to
take the sample exam!

Relative atomic mass is shown with five
significant figures. For elements have no stable
nuclides, the value enclosed in brackets
indicates the mass number of the longest-lived
isotope of the element.
However three such elements (Th, Pa, and U)
do have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic
composition, and for these an atomic weight is
tabulated.
