Romanian Chemistry Olympiad: Grade 12¶
This page covers Grade 12 past papers, including the national team selection (baraj) exams. For other grades and the full competition overview, see the main page. For junior grades (7-9), see here.
Grade 12 is the capstone of Romania's chemistry olympiad and the sole gateway to IChO team selection. Exam content reaches pre-university depth: advanced organic synthesis and retrosynthesis, coordination chemistry, complexometric and redox titrations, and multi-step quantitative problems.
At the national stage, Grade 12 participants may additionally sit a 5-hour IChO-syllabus theory exam written by University of Bucharest professors. The top 20 scorers form the extended national team (lotul național lărgit), which undergoes centralized training followed by three baraj exams (two 5-hour theory, one 5-hour practical) to select the 4-member IChO team. National team selection papers appear in the rightmost column of the table below.
