Alright, can't believe I read one question wrong though. Won't mention which one, it's pretty damn embarrassing, especially as I did all the correct workings.

Probably got like 5 wrong (wish I had covered electrolysis/galvanics by now), felt a LOT better after last years one.

How'd you go cltf?

I don't think I did too well, struggled with a few questions, probably got say 8 wrong  >:(. And what do you mean by a lot better than last years? I only got 1 or 2 wrong last year and this year I think I did rubbish.

EDIT: I checked, I only got one wrong and got a HD aswell. Definitely not this year though.

I meant that after last year's one, I felt much better that after this one. :) I also got 1 wrong last year :)


(my earlier wording probably sucked a bit, my bad)

I found it difficult to focus during the test, don't know why.
Certainly harder than last year's, this was doable. I'm thinking the HD cut off is about 23/24?

Yeh I couldn't focus aswell either. Probably because we get like half a page of information to read, half the time that has nothing to do with the question for one small multiple choice question!

Does anyone know if people can participate next year, even though having completing Year 12 Chemistry this year?

Hmm, found it okay. Messed up 1 qn. A few others were somewhat dodgy.

I didn't last year until I got the results, which I was not expecting.

This is the test they use to begin selection for the Chemistry Olympiad.

It was pretty alright, there was one question that I didn't know how to do (the exothermic reaction one) b/c I didn't know how to turn change in temp to energy, so i made an educated guess, it was the option that was -500ish...apart from that, it was pretty chill (ignoring the dodginess of some questions, that is...)
I won the GAT: 49/50/50.
