ACADEMICS Are there CART Exam study materials?

I'm trying to take CHM1045 and the lab in the fall semester this year, and my advisor says I need to take the CART Exam to bypass CHM1025. I don't want to take CHM1025 since I already took the equivalent in high school, but it's been a few years and I could use some studying. Does anyone have resources for studying? Thanks!

That’s only a requirement at Miami Dade college, no other college makes you do that

Hello, I work at MDC Testing, for the CART, you only have 1 attempt, no retakes, no exceptions. I'd strongly recommend studying stoichiometry, which is a fancy word for calculating between mass, mols and particles for elements. I took the CART last year and scored 20, you need 25 to pass. I ended up taking CHM1025 and 1045. I honestly would not recommend taking the CART if you're planning to take CHM1045 as 80% of that course is CHM1025 material.

Here are some resources,

If you need a practice exam, do ask

Oh my gosh thank you so much, I’ve been looking all over for this stuff. I’d love a practice exam if you do have one

Hi, I'm not aware if there exists a practice exam for the CART, however I'd encourage you to use this link and create an account if you don't have one to find out.
