Chemistry Olympiad 2013!

<p>i want them cookies</p>

<p>Congrats!
Top 20 is the equivalent of the Lasker Award for HS ;)</p>

<p>Wow, congrats to both of you!</p>

<p>When do you guys think they’ll announce honors?</p>

<p>its noon here … havent gotten a call haha. wasn’t confident about it anyways.</p>

<p>Do they call for honors or is it on their site</p>

<p>Also where do they list past honors on thier site</p>

<p>They will post honors in probably another 2 weeks. You don’t get a call for honors. They’ll put it on the website. I’m approximating May 6?</p>

<p>o.0 I got the email today. I’m still in shock.</p>

<p>@universeis42 dont lie you expected it :P</p>

<p>3 people made it from Detroit (my section) :)</p>

<p>@harvey lol I’ll bring some to camp. See you guys there!</p>

<p>Congrats to all who made camp!
I’m in AP Chemistry right now and I qualified for Nationals with a score in the high 40s on the local. I haven’t read Zumdahl nor any other chemistry textbook, but instead have relied on packets from the teacher. If I want to do well at Nationals should I read Zumdahl or Quest for Insight? My time is limited to only one of them. Also, is just reading Quest for insight enough to get me Honors?</p>

<p>zumdahl is good for making it to nationals and good enough for top 150, but if you want to do more than that, you need atkins</p>

<p>I started with Zumdahl as an introduction. It makes reading Atkins so much easier.</p>

<p>Hello my darlings =), those of you who got “The Email”, please message me on facebook → My name is Jess Jkitty IamtheXu. I, or another one of our members will add you to the Team Alpha Zeta group. </p>

<p>Congrats again, and I look forward to meeting you!</p>

<p>^ is that for real…wutt</p>

<p>No she is legit… lol. Message her to get into the fb group.</p>

<p>@HarveyMuddLove</p>

<p>You mentioned Atkins but do you mean Atkins, Quest for Insight? Atkins also has an physical chemistry book but it seems a little overkill. Did you read it?</p>

<p>^ i mean the quest for insight, i did not read the physical chem one, maybe i should…</p>

<p>and like methanal mentioned, i’d say you should progress from zumdahl → quest for insight → ??</p>
