- 시험은 2시간동안 5문제를 풉니다. 그중에 하나는 organic synthesis에 관한 문제입니다. Answer 5 long questions, which include 1 organic scheme.
- 수업은 2011이후로 나온 기출문제 위주로 진행을 할겁니다. 이전 기출문제들는 2019년 시험이랑 다른 방식으로 나온 관계로, 2005-2010 기출문제들중에서 학생들한테 도움되는 문제들만 골라서 다룰 예정입니다.
Past papers from 2011 onwards had this format and so, we will be focusing on these papers. However, I will also compile the more challenging and relevant questions from 2005-2010 and we will go over these questions as well.
- C3L6에 나오는 기출문제도 함께 다룰 예정입니다.
Mixing with C3L6 questions.
When we compare the topics that come up frequently in the Olympiad to topics in the A-level/IB syllabus:
Topics that frequently come up |
Topics that generally do not come up |
Organic Chemistry
Bonding
Analytical techniques (IR, MS, NMR) * Thermodynamics*
Calculations |
Periodicity The periodic table Bonding
Electron structure |
*The more difficult topics that we will have a greater focus on.
올림피아드에 자주 나오는 단원들이 보통 2nd term 와 A2때 배우는 관계로 여름 수업은 선행위주로 진행을 하겠습니다. 1st term때 배우는 단원들은 비교적으로 간단하게 다루겠습니다. 예: stoichiometry, atomic structure and basic calculations.
The summer curriculum involves looking at topics which students will not have yet covered, as the Olympiad involves questions which are more focused on topics that are taught in school after the 2nd term and during A2. We will only lightly touch upon tocis that are covered during the 1st term such as stoichiometry, atomic structure and basic calculations.
We will go through homework at the beginning of the class that is run one after the next.
E.g. Homework set on 7/10 will be looked at at the beginning of the class on the 7/14.
