This report on the 2005 Olympiad takes the same form as my reports on the 1999-2004 Olympiads, although in 1999 and 2000 these were called preliminary reports.  This report summarizes some of the most important items pertaining to the 2005 Chemistry Olympiad and makes some comparisons with Olympiads for the period 1999-2004.  In 2003 additional tables giving detailed information indicating the high schools that participated and the distribution of students among the testing sites were included for the first time.  Also included for the first time in 2003 was a table showing those schools which participated in 2002 but not in 2003.  Similar tables are included in this report.  A table indicating the dates at which schools registered for the Olympiad was included for the first time last year.  That practice is continued here.  In this report, some information previously provided about the National Exam as part of the running text is now given in tabular form.

1) Participation and Results:

Nationally, approximately 11,000 students took the local exam.  In the New York Section a total of 444 students from 67 different high schools registered to take the local exam.  The local exam was administered at 11 sites on March 5 (9 sites) and March 6 (2 sites).  These sites and the site coordinators are listed on page 8.  Of the students who registered, 378 actually took the exam.  The high score on the exam was 56 (perfect score = 60), the low score was 10.  The average score was 34.43, with a standard deviation of 11.75.  The names, schools and scores for the students scoring 50 or above on the local examination are given on page 9.  The National Exam was administered at two locations, Purchase College of SUNY on Saturday, April 17, and Adelphi University on Sunday, April 18.  Based on the size of the New York Section, 20 students were allowed to continue to the National Exam level.  In previous years the section had been allowed only 19 students.

Of the 903 students who took the National Exam 100 students attained honors and 50 attained high honors.  These numbers were established by the national ACS.  Of the 20 New York Section students who took the National Exam four obtained honors and one obtained high honors.  This was a rather weaker showing than in previous years.  However, Zachary Travis of North Shore High School, the one student who obtained high honors, qualified to participate in the National Study Camp.  Zachary Travis and Justin Quartararo had both qualified for the National Exam in 2004.  Justin, as he had in 2004, obtained honors in 2005.

(1)Although New York was entitled to 19 participants one student did
   not show up for the National Exam.
(2)Since one student from the previous year had attended the Study Camp
   we were entitled to one additional slot for the National Exam.
(3)There was a problem involving the citizenship status of one student, and
   as part of the resolution of this problem the national office granted us one
   additional slot for the National Exam..
(4)As a result of a reapportionment from the national office of ACS the section
   was allocated 20 slots for the national exam.
 

2) Recommendations:

The following are my most important recommendations.  They are based on my six years of experience as the Olympiad Coordinator.

(a)  In addition to the Olympiad coordinator, the section should have an Olympiad publicity committee so that the event can be better publicized in local and school media.  (This recommendation has been made in each year since 1999 but has not been implemented.)  The lack of such a committee was particularly important in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 since in each of those years one of our students qualified for and attended the National study camp in Colorado Springs.

(b)  The 2000 recommendation that registration forms should include a space for identifying the gender of each student has been adopted and this greatly assists the coordinator in the preparation of correspondence to students.  It was also recommended in 2000 that it would be helpful if the registration form had a space to indicate whether or not each student is or will be U.S. citizen by the date of the National Exam.  This has not been done due to lack of space, but perhaps the form can be reformatted to accommodate this information.

(c)  Answer sheets for the local exam should not be purchased from the ACS.  ACS answer sheets were used in 1999, but the Scranton device available could only be used for the first 50 questions.  The final 10 questions had to be hand graded.  Since 2000 we have purchased 500 of the 882-ES Scantron answer sheets directly from Scantron Corporation.  Not only was the cost less than the cost for a smaller number of answer sheets purchased from ACS, but we were able to machine grade and analyze all 60 questions on the exam.  This practice should be continued.  Note that this year we had a previously purchased but unopened package of answer forms so it was not necessary to purchase any additional forms.

(d)  There continues to be extensive use of the Sunday sites.  Students taking the local exam on Sunday do not do so solely for religious reasons, but also because of the proliferation of special Saturday programs for students.  As recommended in the past, we might wish to have additional Sunday sites in Manhattan and/or Suffolk.

(e)  The Staten Island site, which we first used in 2001 as a replacement for the Hudson County site, is still sparsely used, but should be retained if possible.  We should continue to work to encourage more students from Staten Island and Hudson County to participate in the Olympiad.  There has been some modest interest in again having an additional site in Hudson Country.

(f) The use of St. John=s University in Queens improved the geographical distribution of sites.  We should continue to include a Queens test site for the local exam

(g)  The adoption, in 2001, of a policy that permitted schools to register up to six students per registration form, but also permitted a school to register up to twelve students by submitting two registration forms and two registration fees (although as a single check) has worked very well.  This policy should be continued.

(h)  Although one person, the coordinator, should be responsible for receiving and distributing materials it is important to have a standing committee to which the coordinator can turn if s/he has policy issues to deal with.  This recommendation, which was made previously, has not been implemented.

(i)  The registration fee was raised from $20 in 1999 to $25 in 2000.  The fee has remained $25 since then.  Part of the reason for raising the fee was to provide funds for small gifts to the site coordinators and the laboratory technicians.  No policy on gifts has been established.  As a result, gifts were not purchased in either 2000 or 2001.  Some recognition of the time and effort expended by the site coordinators and the laboratory technicians is most appropriate.  In 2002 I purchased Olympiad pins from the national office of ACS and sent them to the site coordinators and laboratory technicians as a token of appreciation.  In 2003 I again purchased pins from the national office of ACS.  Additionally I sent a bouquet of flowers to Maria Reichlin-Fishkis, the lab tech at Purchase College of SUNY.  In 2004 periodic table pens were given to the site coordinators, national exam proctors and lab tech personnel.  Consideration should be given to other ways of how we might show these people our appreciation.  In 2005 no gifts were given to the site coordinators, but flowers were sent to Maria Reichlin-Fishkis.

(j)  The department of the Olympiad coordinator provides stationary, phone and fax facilities as well as some secretarial support.  Since the Olympiad usually generates some net income, it might be appropriate to provide a modest monetary reimbursement to the coordinator's department.  Alternatively a book might be purchased and donated to the coordinator's department or school library.  This recommendation, made previously, has not been implemented.

 (k) This is a recommendation based on experience in 2002.  It is recommended that each site coordinator review the local exam prior to the date it is administered.  If any typographical errors are found that information should be conveyed to the Olympiad coordinator so that all sites have the same set of corrections which need to be made.  Additionally the Olympiad coordinator should communicate any errors that have been discovered to the ACS Olympiad.

(l) In 2002 an experimental  national policy permitted as many as three students from a single high school to take the National Exam was considered to be an experiment.  In 2003 the previous policy allowing a maximum of two students from any school was reinstated.  The New York Section should work to have the experimental policy reinstated and made permanent.

(m) For 2003 the Board of the New York Section authorized the payment of a stipend of $50 to graduate students who proctored the local exam.  This policy was continued in 2004.  There should be clear guidelines regarding under what circumstances proctors should be used and how many proctors should be at any site.

(n) The registration fee adopted in 2000 remains adequate to cover the expenses associated with the Olympiad, but the Board might consider increasing the fee.  Another option is to have a surcharge of perhaps $5/registration for schools which register after the official close of registration.  In 2005 more than half the schools (35) registered after the official closing date of February 16.  See Table 2 on pages 15-16 for a listing of the dates schools registered.

(o) In 2005 Information about the Olympiad, including registration materials and directions to all test sites was available via a link on the home page of the web site of the New York Section.  This should be done each year.  It is not recommended at this time that schools be able to register via the web site, but web based registration is something we might wish to consider.

3) Local Examination Sites:

All the sites from 2004 were again available for 2005.  At SUNY at Stony Brook the 2004 site coordinator, Professor Joseph Lauher, was on sabbatical in Spring 2005 but made arrangements for one of his colleagues, Professor Richard Kerber to serve as the site coordinator.  It is probably the case that all the 2005 sites would be available as sites for the 2006 Olympiad; however this should be confirmed as soon as possible.

4) National Exam Sites:

Both Purchase College of SUNY and Adelphi continued as National Exam sites.  Like 2000, 2001 2002, and 2004, but unlike 2003 there was a highly uneven distribution of students between the two National Exam sites.  Four students took the National Exam at Purchase, and sixteen students took the National Exam at Adelphi.  The distribution was not totally the result of religious or geographic considerations although these factors were important in some cases.  In 2003 and 2004 the dates of the National Exam conflicted with the orientation for students accepted at some prestigious universities.  In such cases students have been allowed to take the exam early provided they could take the exam at Adelphi.  In both 2003 and 2004 two students availed themselves of this option.
 

Students who take the National Exam are often involved in various programs that meet on Saturday mornings.  We might reconsider the value of giving the National Exam on both Saturday and Sunday. An alternative would be to administer the National Exam only on Sunday at one or two sites.  Given the geographic range of the section the use of two sites would be better for the students.  The use of one site is simpler in terms of organization.  Since both Purchase and Adelphi have been National Exam sites for a number of years it is probably appropriate to look to see if other institutions could serve in this capacity.  Although there is no reason to believe that either Adelphi or Purchase will not be available as National Exam sites for 2006 it cannot be assumed that they will continue in this role indefinitely.  The requirements for a National Exam site are a laboratory facility capable of accommodating 20 students and lab technicians to prepare the equipment and chemicals.

5) Finances:

Registration fees were received from 67 high schools, generating an income of $2300.  Expenses of $1750.56 are summarized on pages 10-11.  The net income from the event was $549.44.  As was the case since 2003, but not prior to that, the total given for expenses includes the cost of printing and mailing the original invitation to schools to participate in the Olympiad.  For 2003 the board of the New York Section, at the request of Lesley Davenport, authorized the payment of stipends of $50 to graduate student proctors.  This practice has been continued.  It has been longstanding practice at NYU for the exam to proctored by a graduate student.  Also, as was first the case in 2003, money was allocated to cover the costs of a laboratory assistant at Adelphi.  In 2003 $200 was provided to Adelphi, but in both 2004 and 2005 a payment of $100 was made directly to the student assistant, Jonathan Shulman.

6) Comparison of the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Olympiads:
This section, which had been section 6 in reports up to and including that for 2003, was moved in the 2004 report.  In that report and now it is section 10 (see page 7).  Because the comparison now extends over six years the page must be printed in landscape format, and it is for this reason that the section has been moved.

7) Supplemental Tables:

This report continues the practice introduced in the 2003 report of including supplemental tables.  The four supplementary tables are:
1) Table 1 (pages 12-14) lists the participating high schools and the number of students sent
      to each site.
2) Table 2 (pages 15-16) lists the dates on which schools registered for the Olympiad
3) Table 3 (pages 17-19) lists the number of students registered for each site and how many
      students were sent to each site by each high school.  This table also contains totals for
      comparable data from 2003.
4) Table 4 (page 20) lists those high schools which participated in the 2004 Olympiad but
      which did not participate in the 2005 Olympiad.

8) Thanks:

In addition to thanks for the help and support provided by the coordinators at the test sites, I would like to express my special thanks to Blanche Crawford, secretary of the Chemistry Department at Adelphi for her administrative assistance; to Cathy Ireland of Manhasset High School for her assistance in the grading and analysis of the local exams; to Stuart Close of Ossining High School for proctoring the National Exam at Purchase College of SUNY; and to Maria Reichlin-Fishkis (Purchase) and Jonathan Shulman (Adelphi) for their help in setting up and dismantling the laboratory portion of the National Exam.  Richard Goodman of the Horace Greeley School would have assisted in proctoring at Purchase had he been available, and he remains committed to assisting with the Olympiad.

9) Passing the Torch:

I have served as the Olympiad Coordinator since 1999 and as a National Exam proctor for two years prior to that.  I have found the job to be time consuming but also extremely interesting and rewarding. I have saved all my computer files (WordPerfect 8) pertaining to the administration of the event and correspondence with students and teachers.  Additionally, at the suggestion of the NY Section Board in 2001 I maintain, or at least try to maintain, an activity log of what is involved in coordinating the Olympiad.  The log and my computer files would be helpful to the next Olympiad Coordinator, and I would be happy to work with that person and share the knowledge I have gained over the past six years.  At the Board meeting in September 2003 Ron D'Amelia volunteered to learn what is involved in coordinating the event.  For the 2004 Olympiad he was copied on most of the correspondence involved and this practice was continued in 2005.  I really do enjoy being the Olympiad Coordinator and would be willing to continue in that role if the Section would like me to do so.  If I continue as the Olympiad Coordinator I will work even more closely with Ron this year.

10) Comparison of the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Olympiads:

(1) In 1999 and 2000 registration was limited to six students/school.  In 2001 schools could register up to six students for a $25 registration fee, or up to twelve students for a $50 registration fee.  Of the 50 schools registering students in 2001, 25 schools registered six or fewer students and 25 schools registered 7-12 students.

(2)Of the 53 schools registering students in 2002, 39 schools registered six or fewer students and 14 schools registered 7-12 students. Of the 64 schools registering students in 2003, 34 schools registered six or fewer students and 30 schools registered 7-12 students.  Of the 60 schools registering students in 2004, 36 schools registered six or fewer students and 24 schools registered 7-12
students. One school, Lawrence High School registered twice, since two teachers each registered two students.  Thus, in the financial summary it appears as if there were 61 schools but in fact there were only 60 different schools.

(3)Of the 67 schools registering students in 2005, 42 schools registered six or fewer students and 25 schools registered 7-12 students.

(4)For 2003 the total expenses include the cost ($509.93) of the bulk mailing of approximately 1400 pieces to announce the Olympiad to the high schools.  This cost had not been explicitly included for previous years and that should be taken into account when comparing expenses and net incomes.  Also the cost of materials for the laboratory portion of the 2003 National Exam was considerably higher than in previous years.  For 2004 the Section Office reported that the cost of the bulk mailing was $468.44.  For 2005 the Section Office reported that the cost of the bulk mailing was $443.61.  For more details refer to the budget summary.

(1) Student was ineligible to take the exam since the student is not currently a citizen of the United States.

(2) Student was ineligible to take the exam because of the limit of two students from any individual high school.

(3) Student was ineligible to take the exam because of the limit of two students from any individual high school.  In this case the choice of which students would participate was determined by the high school teacher in consultation with the three students involved.

(4) Student declined to take the National Exam since he was unavailable on the dates the exam was administered.  As a result there was no need to determine which three of the four students who scored 50 would advance to the national exam.

     (1)  This year the pricing structure for exams was changed in such a way as to make it advantageous for us to again purchase 500 exams rather than 450 since the price per exam
was lower.  Given the large registration it was fortunate that we purchased 500 exams.

      (2)  We have been purchasing 500 scantron forms each year, but never used all of them.  This year we
had an unused package from last year so there was no cost.  The cost listed is that from 2004 and is
included here so as to give an estimate of the cost in the future.

      (3)  This expense was first included in the budget summary for the 2003 Olympiad.  The cost figure for this item was provided by the Section Office.

      (4) Standard first class postage was always purchased in book form and stamps not used on
a specific date were used in subsequent mailings.  On some days more than one charge is
listed since that is how receipts were obtained at the post office.

      (5)  There were no special supplies needed this year.  We had a more than adequate supply of
Beral pipets left from 2004.  Jonathan Shulman did not request reimbursement for the plastic bags which he purchased

      (6)  Olympiad Pins were purchased from the ACS and given to students who took the National Exam for the first time and to those students who had scores on the local exam high enough
to qualify for the national exam but did not actually take the national exam.  Students who received a pin in 2004 were given a periodic table pen from the supply left over from 2004.  This year no special gifts were provided to the site coordinators.

      (7)  Jonathan Shulman, an alumnus of Adelphi had complete responsibility for preparing the laboratory portion of the National Exam at Adelphi.  The payment was made directly to him.

      (8)  In some years a bouquet of flowers was sent to Maria Reichlin-Fishkis, the lab tech at SUNY College at Purchase.  This was not done in 2004 but was done this year.

      (9)  Payment to proctors was first authorized for the 2003 Olympiad.  The payment of $50 was to the proctor at NYU, where the local exam has always been proctored by a graduate student.
