Chemistry Olympiad 2013!

<p>Is it possible to sign up independently from my high school? Each school had to pay a fee, correct? I am pretty sure that my school would not be willing to pay a fee this late.</p>

<p>Never mind^</p>

<p>Just finished… PM me if you want to discuss, I think I have scored around a 56</p>

<p>I’m taking the test soon. I think its getting harder every year</p>

<p>I wonder if Beer’s Plot will show up this year. It’s been missing for a few consecutive years already</p>

<p>In my AP Chemistry class we covered Beers law.</p>

<p>lol beer’s law is pretty simple…just Absorbance = abc</p>

<p>btw has anyone else taken it yet? pm if you want to discuss</p>

<p>I thought this year’s was a breeze. Mostly conceptual and straightforward questions. Then again, it’s probably because I’ve been doing national exams for practice.</p>

<p>That’s cool to hear. Nuke, I recognize your username from last year’s thread. So did ya think it’s much easier than last year?</p>

<p>IMO it was slightly easier than last year’s but the recent local exams have all been around the same level of difficulty.</p>

<p>If anyone wrote their answers down and wants to compare, I’m all ears :)</p>

<p>is it set in stone that only 2 people people per school max can qualify for semis?? Because many other schools in my district dont even send 1 person</p>

<p>Yes, up to 2.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if you can take the exam outside of your district. I have a conflict.</p>

<p>@starchow: I think you should find out who the coordinator of the other district is and email them.</p>

<p>Also, I got a 49/60 on my locals :(, so that’s not good enough for USNCO. I have the answers if anyone wants me to grade their paper shoot me a PM.</p>

<p>Guys! Some people don’t test until like March 30th, so don’t publicize that you can tell them answers, people could be getting answers from you.</p>

<p>Didn’t get the last 3 questions I don’t think (i got like a c d i think), but everything else was fine…anyone remember what those were? PM me?</p>

<p>^^ seconded</p>

<p>^ usnco tests are not ordered by difficulty. no reason to ask about the last 3 questions</p>

<p>Does everyone get the same test? I took mine on the 8th, so would I have the same answers as someone who took it on the 1st for example?</p>

<p>I took mine yesterday too! Thought I did pretty well really only worried about stupid mistakes.</p>

<p>I think I got 55+. I can’t discuss right now since I only have 1 post but when I get to 15 I guess we can PM</p>
