<p>Last year I took the USNCO national test, and they gave me this paper that said I was a "U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad Finalist".
Is that just something they give everybody who takes the test? I only know one other person who took the test with me and he got a paper saying that too</p>

<p>what level difficulty is the USNCO? Is it AP Chem level? I was thinkin of getting some advanced undergrad/grad books to study from.</p>
