People who read a lot can have a lot of temperament
In addition to the UKCHO (British Olympiad in Chemistry), the CCC (Canadian Chemistry Competition) is also a very popular chemistry competition, compared to others"International level"The CCC Canadian Chemistry Competition is very cost-effective, and the winning rate is also very high!
Today we are going to learn about this competition.
What is the Canadian Chemistry Competition
The Canadian Chemical Thinking Contest (CCC) is sponsored by the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) and is one of Canada's leading academic chemistry competitions.
CCC Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (CCO) National Qualifiers, with outstanding results, can be invited to the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad National Finals, so as to be selected for the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad national team to participate in ICHO (International Chemistry Olympiad).
The CCC has the same gold content as the British Chemistry Olympiad (UKCHO), but it is less difficult and has a higher award rate, making it ideal for first-time participantsStudents who are currently studying IGCSE, IB MYP, or Grades 9-10 at a high school and want to win a prize and love chemistry.

Method 1:The school is the test center of the CCC Chemistry Competition, and students can register through the school or ASDAN Xiaocheng.
Method 2:Other students can register through the institution.
Global Award of Excellence:The top 10% of Canadian players can be obtained if they exceed the score line.
China Awards:
Gold: Top 10%.
Silver: Top 25%.
Bronze: Top 35%
Regional Merit Award: The top 20% of Canadian Chemical Olympiad (CCO) finalists in each region, excluding national awards.
Scope of the competition exam
The content of the CCC Chemistry Competition has a high degree of overlap with the content of AP A-level, so half of the students who have completed most of the AP A-Level chemistry study and exam are aiming for the gold award, and the students who are studying AP A-Leve Chemistry also have the opportunity to win the silver medal and the gold award.
The individual written test, a total of 60 minutes, contains 25 multiple-choice questions in 8 major mock roles, and there is no experiment. The knowledge coverage is wide, the difficulty of the questions is relatively small, and the basic knowledge and basic skills of students are mainly examined, which is suitable for beginners majoring in chemistry.
The scope of the exam is grouped into 8 modules: Security Issues; Organic chemistry; acids and bases; From structure to properties; Electrochemistry; prerequisites for solutions and stoichiometry, gas laws and basic concepts; thermochemistry, reaction kinetics; Chemical equilibrium. On average, there are 3 questions in each unit, which is relatively large.
CCC competition gold content
High degree of recognition
Only students who have won the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Excellence Awards in the CCC competition can participate in the CCO competition. On the whole, the gold content of the CCC chemistry competition is still very high. Therefore, the CCC Chemistry Competition is one of the main competitions for applicants from all over the world to demonstrate their chemistry ability.
The main display is comprehensive auspicious quality
CCC chemistry competition examines the knowledge of 8 basic modules, organic chemistry, thermochemistry, chemical balance and other aspects, and those who have excellent results in the CCC competition can show the admissions officers the students' solid basic knowledge of chemistry, strong chemical knowledge application ability, strong interest in chemistry, and school learning in addition to learning, and fully demonstrate the comprehensive quality of students.
Lay a solid foundation for future science majors
For students who want to apply for chemistry or biology-related majors, CCC is relatively less difficult than other biochemistry competitions. Through the CCC Chemistry Competition, students can lay a solid foundation in chemistry and lay a solid foundation for future chemistry-related majors.
The role of participating in CCC competitions
1. Improve the competitiveness of the application.
Especially for students applying for chemistry, the overall difficulty of the CCC competition is moderate, and it is more friendly to beginners. After systematically preparing for the exam, you can get a good score and show your basic knowledge of chemistry to the college.
2. Accumulate experience in participating in the competition and expand your learning horizons.
The CCC competition is suitable for high school students of any grade, and it is very suitable for high school freshmen to participate in the attempt, but they can learn more about chemistry and expand their learning breadth in the preparation for the exam.
3.Players who excel in the CCO can participate in the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad National Finals and thus be selected for the national team to participate in the ICHO International Chemistry Olympiad. The CCC and CCO are open to students from all over the world, but the national team is only open to students with Canadian citizenship. As a result, CCC and CCO are among the main competitions for applicants from all over the world to demonstrate their chemistry and scientific thinking skills.
4.For students who want to apply for chemistry or biology related majors, CCC is basically a compulsory competition. Compared with other biochemistry competitions, CCC is relatively less difficult and is a stepping stone to the CCO, so it is a very common award among Chinese biochemistry science students. In other words, for biochemistry students who want to rise, the CCC award is a basic requirement, but the gold content is not as good as other higher-level biochemistry competitions such as CCO and UKCHO.
