The discussion focuses on resources for preparing for the Physical Chemistry ACS Exam, specifically for topics like quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and statistical mechanics. Participants recommend utilizing the ACS study guide, open courseware, and practice tests to identify study gaps. They emphasize the importance of consulting with professors for additional materials, especially since some professors provide tailored resources for ACS exams. The conversation also touches on the uncertainty regarding whether essential equations will be provided during the exam.
PREREQUISITESStudents enrolled in Physical Chemistry courses, particularly those preparing for the ACS exam, and educators seeking to provide effective study resources for their students.
Not mine, he's a bare minimum, high steaks testing type of professor. He also helped write the test and the study guide for pchem but doesn't give us much to go on and I suspect that's an ethics decision.Dr. Courtney said:I'd ask your prof. We mentor several students in ACS approved chemistry programs, and when there is an ACS exam involved, their profs usually provide ample study materials.
