<p>I’m pretty sure calls will be this Monday. It’s usually the Monday after the testing window, and that would be May 5th. </p>
<p>Has anyone gotten their call yet? Please let us know when the calls are made!</p>
<p>Calls were made today.</p>
<p>Who got called? Teachers or students?</p>
<p>Students got a call and email. Congrats to everyone who made it! :)</p>
<p>Congrats to universeis42 and others; good luck at Colorado this summer! </p>
<p>Congrats to Universis42! Has anyone else on CC heard back yet?</p>
<p>Oh and also,though the test was a long while back, does anyone know the answer to the MC asking for a substance that cannot be used to prepare a standard solution? (something along those lines)</p>
<p>^sodium hydroxide. it absorbs atmospheric co2 and h20</p>
<p>What is the answer to the question that asked for the benefits of methane fuel cells over internal combustion engines? The choices (I, II, III) were something along the lines of more efficient, cleaner, and less expensive.</p>
<p>Also, what is the answer to the question asking about the “unusual property” of the polymer (forget the name)? Answer choices were something like electrical conductivity, strength, flexibility…</p>
<p>Electrical conductivity - polymers usually don’t exhibit this.</p>
<p>Any tips for preparing for camp? What’s it like exactly?..</p>
<p>Top 150 will be announced today?</p>
<p>It should have been…are they not announcing top 150 this year, perhaps?</p>
<p>They never do things on schedule aside from selecting Top 20. Its going to be posted later this week or next most probably. (a good assumption would be May 20th about because they were 6 days late releasing Part I which came out this morning).</p>
<p>I see. Out of curiosity, where did you find answers to part I? I don’t seem to be able to find it in the usnco page at the acs website.</p>

<p>How are top 150 scorers notified? Are all names posted on the ACS website? Do teachers get an email? Do students?</p>
<p>What do you think the cutoff is going to be this year?</p>
<p>Well, for one, with the answers now posted, what do you guys think you guys got?</p>
