Population
The CHEMX is commonly administered in college chemistry courses.
Typical Performance
Below are the performance results from the initial instrument development for five populations: general chemistry 1 (GC1), general chemistry 2 (GC2), organic chemistry 2 (OC2), after completing junior year chemistry, and faculty.
