Final Exam Instructions: 1. You must bring a #2 pencil. YOU MAY NOT USE A CALCULATOR. You MAY NOT use the formula sheet. 2. Cell phones are not allowed. If you are observed with a cell phone in use or in sight, you will receive a grade of ZERO on the final exam. 3. You may not leave the testing room for any reason. If you must leave the room during the exam, you must turn in your exam first, and you will NOT be allowed to continue after it is turned in. 4. You will have exactly 120 minutes to complete 70 multiple choice questions. If you are late, you will have less than 120 minutes to complete the exam. 5. Your grade will be determined as a percentile of the national average or as a raw percentage, which ever score is higher. 6. You will be provided with a test booklet which has abbreviations, a section of the periodic table, and some molecular structures, answer sheet, and scratch paper.

Organic Chemistry Olympiad 2010 Rules • The class will be split into 2 teams. • Each team will send a team member to the front of the room to compete heads up (no team member may participate in heads up twice until all team members have participated at least once). No coaching will be allowed during heads-up competition. • Heads-up competition will result in one of the following outcomes. 1. Both competitors choose not to answer the question • In this event, the competitors will consult with their team. During team consultation, a free-for-all will ensue, and any team member may submit an answer on the board. The first team to officially submit a correct answer will receive 1 point. 2. Both competitors answer the question correctly • In this event, the competitor who submitted their answer first will receive 2 points for their team, and the competitor will get one point for their team. 3. One competitor answers correctly and the other does not • The competitor who answers correctly will earn 2 points for their team. 4. Both competitors answer the question incorrectly • No points will be awarded. • Competitors may NOT look at each others work until they have both officially submitted their answers.
