Each year after the tests, we receive great feedback from participating teachers. We encourage and appreciate all comments and suggestions regarding the chemistry high school exams. The feedback helps us appreciate how the chemistry curriculum varies across Canada and around the world. We are always looking for new and challenging questions that can be included in future exams.
Do you have an idea or suggestion for a question for the Chem 13 News or Avogadro exams? We want to hear from you!
The Chem 13 News Exam is designed for Grade 12 high school chemistry students in their second high school chemistry course. Topics can include: organic chemistry, equilibria, kinetics, oxidation-reduction, bonding, structure, reactions, solutions, and gases, and other challenging miscellaneous chemistry questions. We also expect students writing the Grade 12 exam to be able to answer content based on prerequisite Grade 11 knowledge.
The Avogadro Exam is designed for Grade 11 high school students in their first high school chemistry course. Topics include: structure of matter, bonding, reactions, solutions, and gases. The test includes a few probing and demanding questions on some of the main topics of high school chemistry.
Please use the below form to submit a question for consideration for future Chem 13 News or Avogadro exams. The exam coordinator and colleagues at the University of Waterloo will consider questions and make final decisions regarding the content of each exam.
