- Chem Challenge. For students looking to review key science ideas (significant figures, unit conversions) or specific chemistry ideas (stoichometry or chemical nomenclature), check out this excellent review option. Also, students looking to take the challenge exam to move from Chem 140 into Chem 150 should check out the review and then follow the directions on the page to take the challenge exam.
