**Official** 2012 USNCO Chemistry Olympiad Discussion
Hi all! This will be the official topic where we discuss the 2012 USNCO Regional round. Remember not to openly discuss it, since the window is still up, but after the window is over we can talk about it.
Anyway, I took the test today. PM me for discussion!

I dont see the Olympiad thread, only the AP thread. This is different than the AP thread.

Oh, you're right; sorry. I seem to have mistaken the USABO thread for USNCO.

You don't have the authority to create an "official" thread for that test (just saying).

Taking tomorrow...scoring 50-55 on old tests. Cutoff for my section in the last 2 years was 56 and 53 so I'm pretty nervous! Wish me luck!

LOL. My area's cut off is 38. I know, super low, right? Of course, I got a lot more than that and am already qualified for nat.

This could possibly be a dumb question, but... How do you guys know the cutoffs?

Just took the exam; it was a little bit more difficult than usual but ok considering I tried to re-study all of AP chem in like 2 days. I wrote down my answers so pm me with proof if anyome wants to discuss.

Gah cutoff for NY is usually 50+, which means I might have barely made it.

be aware though that there are some who can gleen enough info from another CCer in order to provide "proof" they took the exam and then they gather all of the correct answers. it has definitely happened with the usabo.

I know because my Chemistry teacher is close with my state's NCO coordinator.
