Of these exams, the totally new product is the General Chemistry Lab Exam. This exam arose out of discussions at a symposium at the ACS National Meeting in Boston in Fall 2007. Some study was done through workshops and surveys to determine that enough people agree on what can be assessed in the Gen Chem Lab that we decided to put together an exam. This exam will always be an electronically delivered one that features embedded videos/animations which would not be possible for a paper and pencil exam. This exam is trial testing in the Spring 2012 semester and we are keenly interested in more participants.
