<p>I figured if there was one for Bio and Phys, there should definitely be one for Chem. </p>
<p>So, how are other people preparing? Any suggested texts?</p>
<p>I'm just bitter about this olympiad since it discriminates against noncitizens. Damn AMSCO lol!!!;)</p>
<p>Hopefully, I'll make camp this year :D</p>
<p>footonthehill161 is quite ambitious...I believe on the another thread he also cited that he is aiming for a 130 on the AMC12 and a 10 on the AIME.</p>
<p>Hehe</p>
<p>Has anyone hear taken this test before? What is the difficulty compared to the Chem AP test?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there are hundreds of high school kids out there who are TONS better than me in both math and chemistry. However, if I have the mentality that I can do well, it should give me more confidence, and in the end, no matter if I make it or not, I'll be happy.</p>
<p>mrniceguy, you can just study from any high school-level textbook. My father is also a chemistry major, so that kinda helps a bit, too.</p>
<p>Umm it's the US NATIONAL Chemistry Olympiad, not USA.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm taking it as soon as I find out when the local exam is.</p>
<p>Yeah, theoneo, if we both qualify past local, I think I'll see you at the national exam place!</p>
<p>Ah the problem is that my county is MAD competitive. Only two per county, right?</p>
<p>2 per school, at least 8 (i think) per local section</p>
<p>Ok well my school is STILL mad competitive. Ahhhhhhhhh!</p>
<p>Anyone know how to prep? Just read through Zumdahl's and do all the problems?</p>
<p>That would be a good idea.</p>
<p>ok, anyone taking locals?</p>
<p>

lol, that might work... but that would be sooooo boring</p>
<p>taking regionals coming tuesday... I'm just hoping to make it to nationals.</p>
<p>good luck! =)</p>
<p>Regionals on 22nd for me. Top ten advance I believe.</p>
<p>Sometime next week. Hopefully not the 22nd, since I already have the AIME, National French Exam, and USABO semis that day.</p>
<p>is it too late to get our school registered if we haven't done that yet or can we go to a different school to take it?</p>
<p>How can you register for the 2007 Chem Olympiad if your school doesn't hold it?</p>
