UKChO 2024

Does anyone know when the results/boundaries are coming out?

you got 1 more mark than me and i just got an invite so (unless they’ve taken several marks off you) i think you might get one soon!!

What score do you think is top 100? I am curious to know and the bars are quite difficult to measure

I think your paper increased in marks when moderated, from what I can see in the released grade boundaries (it zooms in on top entrants) Round 2 should be a 60+. Good luck in the next round though!

after looking at the graph i’m not quite sure how my score made it in all honesty, to go up by 3+ marks is somewhat miraculous. I was thinking it’s some sort of mistake. Also i counted the number of 60+ scores and it turned out to be 35 not 34, so maybe the graph isn’t the finalised one or something, idk.
Thank you, looking back i shouldn’t have got your hopes up like that but who knew that my score was going to increase😅

I also saw it added to 35, not 34, but I assume an international student maybe got that score, so they probably aren't able to do round 2.

Don't worry about getting my hopes up, of course I wanted to get into round 2 but at least I can focus more on my A levels. I already got an offer from Cambridge for medicine, so I'm happy about that.

I was mainly disappointed because I did the Chemistry Cambridge Challenge last year, and got 58 which was 1 mark from Roentgenium (top 30 in country), so happening again was a bit sad.

Again, good luck in Round 2! It will be an amazing experience I'm sure, and maybe you can even get into team selection!

I think I’d need my second miracle to get onto the team but after what happened with my score I’ll keep believing! Last year I was annoyed at myself for getting 55 on C3L6, nevermind 58. The grade boundaries were very high last year and I was convinced that my score could’ve made it, so I learnt my lesson this time to not get my hopes up. You’re clearly at the standards of someone who makes it into the next round of these competitions just pretty unlucky, and very well done on Cambridge. Also what college did you apply, I got a downing offer

Has anyone done the 2024 UK Chemistry Olympiad? If so, how was it for you?

roentgenium was top 61

Only about 30 people actually turned up to the camp tho, idk why

roentgenium was top 61

There is no roentgenium lmao, this is the UK Chemistry Olympiad not the C3L6. Camp is roughly top 30 lol

I got 67
