Each team will choose a packet of 3 questions of a certain level of difficulty (easy, medium, hard) to answer at a time. Upon completion of the questions, the entire packet will be turned in and a new question set can be chosen, at any difficulty level. These questions will be drawn from a broad range of general chemistry topics. Sample problems are from WUCT 2018, but the exam format and topics covered will be similar.
