Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences on the understanding and academic achievement in general chemistry according to chemical grades in high school and College Scholatic Ability Test. We investigated the difference between the completed subjects in high school and the elective subjects in the Test, degree of understanding of the general chemistry according to the subjects completed in high school, and the effects on the academic achievement of general chemistry by dint of the chemical grades in high school and the Test, etc. By the results of the student's perception survey, most of the students choose Chemistry I at the Test. It was found that the understanding of general chemistry was greatly affected by the chemical elective subjects of high school. Chemical grades in high school and the Test were found to have a significant influence on academic achievement of general chemistry.
