Take this test...post your score...

Pretty cool! If you think you know chemistry, think again. Taking this test was even more valuable than all of Randy's articles on chemistry. It really tests what you know, and then gives you the correct answer to study what you didn't.

I went all the way through it and confirmed what I already figured, I am a Novice at reef chemistry. I did learn quite a bit, but I don't know what the chances of remembering much of it are.

I think it took me about 15 minutes to work my way through it. It was hard to stay with it that long, but I wanted to know the answers. I scored as an Apprentice Reef Chemist. The formula questions are the hardest for me. They also have a quiz from 2006 if you want to take another one.

I did it just so I could find an answer to a question I had about baking soda! I learned what I still don't know. Some things I never want to know as well!

62% - Reef Chemist
which is pretty surprising to me since it felt like I was guessing about half of the time.

Okay, so that explains why you have assistants that mix up the goop for taking impressions.

I scored as a Novice, which is quite accurate! Doesn't make me want to study chemistry any more though. Ugh. It was/is always hard for me!

I got a 58% without wikipedia, which was tempting. Still in the top 34%, which isnt terrible.
