How do you study for Chemistry Olympiad?
Sophia7X:
Besides doing old tests?
Recommend any textbooks/workbooks? All tips appreciated.
UG:
Have you seen the syllabus they have on their website? But yes definitely past tests, there are lots avaliable from different countries for a bit of variety. I also recommend studying lab procedures. There was an early thread on this, scroll down a bit to find the post by XGen.

Check if you can solve this: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=55625.0
XGen:
your best bet is probably asking your chem teacher for general tests and doing previous tests
if you search for it you can probably find the thread I started a couple weeks ago.

I`m from brazil, and i`m studying for the final selection test for the brazilian IChO team.
You will need to study a lot of things that you dont see in highschool.
If you wanna study hard for chemical olympiads, you can start with some general chemistry book, and then an organic chemistry one.
I`ve read Atkins and then Solomons, worked well for me. (Atkins have some calculus, but you can mostly ignore it)
When reading these books, you wont probably have time to do all exercises. But you should try to make at least half of them.
