    I did wonder whether my "conservative" estimate wasn't conservative enough

    Results and boundaries will be released on this website "by Friday 9th March".

    My teacher told me something about the next round, but he said they'd be in contact and I haven't heard anything. Is the deadline tomorrow?

    I just found out I actually got a gold and not a silver like my teacher said I'd got. Nobody else in my year group knows their results, but they've been published on the RSC website...

    I should probably add to this thread, I received a £15 Amazon voucher from the RSC for my score in UKChO1. I was a high Gold, but missed Round 2 by 4 marks. Bit odd as they don't advertise prizes like that anywhere on their website! If anyone else got a voucher too, I'd love to know, and what score you got to earn it.
