CCC Chemistry Competition

The CCC Chemistry Competition is a one-hour chemistry contest for high school students. Rather than testing memorisation, it asks students to apply chemistry concepts to new problems and think through them step by step — the same skills needed in senior chemistry courses and beyond.

Who Should Take It

• Students currently taking high school chemistry, including AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry and A-Level Chemistry
• Students who enjoy chemistry and want a challenge beyond regular classwork
• Students considering chemistry, engineering, medicine or other science programmes at university

Contest Format

• One hour, written on site at JA under supervision
• Based on high school chemistry, such as atomic structure, bonding, stoichiometry, reactions and equilibrium

Why Take It

• A focused way to test and strengthen chemistry problem-solving
• Helpful preparation for AP / IB / A-Level chemistry exams
• A contest result students can include in university applications
