Anyone did the Australian Chemistry Olympiad? (1 Viewer)

[jco51]

It was part of the National Qualifying Exams held by ASO. How did you go in this year's AChO?

Yeh, i didn't do it, but did anyone from BOS make it to camp in either of the Physics, Chemistry or Bio?

lolokay made it into Physics.

We haven't gotten our results back, but I guess that means I didn't make it into the camp?

I left halfway through the thing so I'm not expecting anything.

Hahahaha, that's even worse than me. All that happened was that 5 minutes into the exam, I was like..."Shit".

Haha, I think I remember the very first question being abit hard too.

I signed up for all the Science Olympiads, but only ended up doing the Biology Olympiad only , I just looked at the Olympiad Chemistry and Physics Past Papers and gave up, plus I needed to study for my Yearly's.

I found the Multiple Choice (easiest section) and the Extended Response Section for Bio very attemptable, but the short answer section, I ended up guessing everything (Even the true and false section). I most likely didn't make the team, but honestly I don't care.

This might be off-topic but did anyone who did it get their University of UNSW Mathematics Competition back.

It wasn't so much the first question, it was more the free answer questions.

I agree haha.

I did one free answer question, looked at the rest and thought 'no way...'.

We ended up cheating...sorta.

why did u even bother.

Mr Kay made me. I signed up for Physics, and he's like: "Do you do Chem, Thomas?"

 

[minijumbuk]

Aww, I regret so much not paying attention in earlier years. I only started loving chemistry in year 11 =(

I never cared about any shit in junior years. Now I missed my chance of chemistry olympiad =(

does anyone know what you actually do at the training camps....

What you do is learn all the 1st year university material for that particular science (in 2 weeks) and do practicals as well as a few examinations.

Although, reading over this, this is very much an understatement, you do alot of work!!!
