<p>Can anyone comment on the level of difficulty of the contest?</p>
<p>Slightly easier than AP Chemistry.</p>
<p>Easier than AP Chemistry? Really?</p>
<p>No it’s not. I didn’t take it but there were a few at my school who did and I heard it was far harder than AP Chem.</p>
<p>It’s not harder than AP chem, there are just some out-there questions but the majority of the test is easier than AP chem</p>
<p>Really? Hmmm… Maybe I was thinking of some other Chemistry competition thing, because I was told it was very hard.</p>
<p>As an International Chemistry Olympiad winner, I’m pretty sure there are different levels of competition for USAChO. The first level of competition may be easy, but it’s very difficult to get into the US team.</p>
<p>the local test was pretty easy.</p>
<p>Like Honors Chem level. Moderately easy.</p>
<p>I did a practice local test last night, and have to do another one tonight (since I accidentally did the wrong one, but now I have it done for later in the week). I’m sure the higher levels are harder, but the local test and probably the level directly after are fairly easy.</p>
<p>I took it last year and found it a little harder than AP Chem class tests, and WAY harder than the AP exam… just my 2 cents.
I’m trying again this year, but it’s a little tough b/c I haven’t thought about Chemistry in a long time ahahah.
Although, if I’m remembering correctly, only 2 people from each school can qualify? Because I’m fairly sure I had a qualifying score last year, it was just not top 2 at the school. One of those two graduated, so I’m crossing my fingers this year :)</p>
<p>I think the local test is below AP level, since I didn’t really study for it and got a 50+ on it and wasn’t in AP (in it this year), but the national level test is quite a bit harder than AP level.</p>
<p>What is a good enough score to advance to next level?</p>
<p>Depends on how competitive your chapter is, probably anywhere between 50 to near perfect 60.</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>What is the AP Chemistry Olympiad? How do I enter??</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>It’s actually Chemistry Olympiad and I also want to know how I can enter. Is it part of Science Olympiad?</p>
<p>You can register through your school, I think.</p>
