2025 Final NTK
2025 Final NTK
The exam will be made up of entirely multiple choice questions (approximately 65-70). It will
cover all material since the beginning of the year, but there is an emphasis on material covered
during the second semester. This is a department exam, so you’ll be taking the same exam as
your fellow Chem Honor Chemsters with a few extra questions added.
We’ve done more stuff than what’s on these review pages - if it’s not on this Need To Know
(NTK) review sheet, you won’t see it on the exam!
