<p>If I remember right it's mostly AP stuff, but there's also some o-chem nomenclature.</p>

<p>Local exam's pretty easy. I took it for practice/fun (can't take it officially since not a US citizen), and got just 2 wrong. My friend, who got 1 wrong, made USNChO camp, so I figure it's at least decent. :p</p>
