A Placement Examination and Mathematics Tutorial for General Chemistry

Abstract
Many colleges and universities offer several levels of introductory chemistry instruction. As a result, there is often a need to provide students advice into which course or sequence they should be enrolled. This paper describes a thirty-question assessment that has been developed, tested, and used on-line. In addition, a second Internet-based feature, a set of tutorials about math and calculator skills and approaches to solving word problems has been implemented.
