Next meeting on Jan. 6 tryouts will be held for the Washington University Chemistry Tournament (WUCT) where CHS sends three teams of six people to compete. Club members will take a test and based on scores they placed into the teams.
Grace Yang, Chemistry Club’s officer and senior said, “It will just be like a chemistry test and whoever gets the most problems right (gets in) it’s a point system. There will be an A team, a B team and a C team.”
Aakash Patel, Chemistry Club’s officer and senior, said that “WUCT can be a chance for our members to employ their chemistry learnings in more ‘real life’ and applied problems,” via email.
Yang also said it is like a regular AP Chemistry test and has short answers. Jennifer Drudge, a Chemistry teacher, will create the assessment. The best way members can prepare for the test is by reviewing their chemistry knowledge and notes.
