Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M)

Suddenly thought of posting this because many are still in dark about this Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M). Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M) is a chemistry quiz opened to all students studying in Malaysian secondary schools. There are 2 levels namely the ordinary level and the advanced level. The ordinary or asas level is for students currently in fifth form and the advanced level is obviously for upper sixth formers. The quiz consists of 50 multiple choice questions. Questions are similar to those you'll get during SPM and STPM.

Now, here is the hidden agenda. Those participating in the advanced level of Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M) has a chance of being chosen to represent our country, Malaysia to the International Chemistry Olympiad or better known as the IChO. Annually, the IChO Malaysian training committee will call the top scorers in Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M) to participate in a selection camp in the University of Malaya. The selected candidates will be sent all expenses paid to the IChO. So, it is a real fantastic reward for those advanced level students. Should you have any doubt, please leave a comment in this blog. I'll get back to you soon. Or, you can get me by posting at the ReCom forum for Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan Malaysia (K3M) 2010. Hope to hear from you all real soon. ^^

IChO

One of the search on Google that lead to my blog was "can IChO for university students?". I would like to answer this person's question and the answer is NO. IChO is open to all students below the age of 20 who hadn't receive any university education.

By the way, here is the link to the 42nd Olympiad's Theoretical and Practical questions if you're interested in going through them. Enjoy!
