Chemistry Olympiad 2015

Also, if you are really raring to go you should consult jhgong or someone who seems like they took the test. Probably more likely to have correct answers too. rather than posting here!

Oh and exercise caution. If someone PM’s you saying something like “darn that trivia was hard. What did you get”, they are fishy

Lol I do not have all the answers… and don’t trust people who do not tell you what they did. People just asking you questions are probably fishy also

@jhgong Someone actually did try that on me. He wanted me to give him answers. I asked him which FRQ Question # was the predicting the products of reactions. He said #5, which would have been correct in previous years.
That wasn’t on this forum though.

dang…smart @1golfer1
yeah I indeed was surprised that #4 was reaction prediction… haha

When I initially saw the fifth question, I thought “YES! No reactions!” Then I looked at the bottom of the first page.

prediction was definitely easier than last year’s

If there are extensions, will the results be delayed?

I don’t think it will be delayed… or at least I hope not. WWell wait and see

It better not. It’s not fair in first place that those ppl are getting extensions.

There shouldn’t be anyone getting extensions…the test said 20th was definitely the last day and that people could get their tests afterwards.

I hope you are right.

I can see locals getting extended since my school had usabo extended (I missed cutoff by 0.5 pts but oh well). but I doubt that they will allow extension for nationals. Especially it’s probably too late to get lab materials.

so it becomes the coordinator’s fault that the test takers didn’t make it? lol that sounds kinda unfair for those kids

I think it would be a case to case scenario. The best case is that everyone took it, no extensionns,we get results, everybody is happy. But we need to watch out in case something unexpected happens, as people with answers could definitely offset the balance. I would say we don’t need to be paranoid, but caution is never bad. PM is the way to go until next monday

does anyone who took the exam last year remember when the results came out? I do not remember…

Pretty sure it is Monday. That’s what I’ve read anyway.

past two years they had a schedule for each year’s exam that included both top 20 and 50/150 announcement dates but this year there isn’t. kinda frustrating

Oh well at least you know you did well ;P. But I do agree that I’m a bit impatient with the wait. Especially with honors and high honors it will be even longer O:

2 more days till Monday hopefully top 20 results comes out
