Competitors at the 2014 International Chemicals Olympiad (IChO 2014) sat for a five-hour theoretical examination on July 25, following a five-hour practice test on July 23.
After the test, Karol Rzad from Poland said he felt relieved after the test, which is long and rather difficult, adding that he had tried his best.
A Vietnamese competitor, Do Viet Hung from Tran Phu High School for Gifted Students in Hai Phong City said the theoretical test was not as hard as the practical one. The student also shared his thought that Vietnamese students need more training in practice in order to gain better results at IChO events.
