RSC Online Chemistry Olympiad for UK Lower Sixth Students

The Online Chemistry Olympiad is freely available annually from June to September.

The Royal Society of Chemistry has designed this online test for students at the end of their first year of sixth form studies.

It consists of forty multiple choice questions presented in a random order. At the end of the test period students receive individual feedback on their performance broken down into the main areas of chemistry. Prizes are awarded to the best performing students.

Please note that this competition is only open to students educated in the UK.

Students can take the test at any time within the test period. Teachers may like to encourage their students to take it over the summer. The RSC will encourage the best performing students to enter Round I of the International Chemistry Olympiad which is for students in their second year of sixth form studies.
