R - U S * Report of the ACS Examinations Committee THE 1979 TESTING PROGRAM Three new tests have been published this year. The new General Chemistry, Form 1979, is similar in format to the routinely taith the new orders. 197.5 and 1977 tests. I t contains ten sections, each sampling a major T h e fullowing current tests are featured this year. Norms for all segment of the course.

F m m the data of the Spring 1979 testing, (April, 1978); 53,264 (April, 1976); 52,484 (duly, 1975), and previous norms will be calculated for eachof the ten sections; tiw the kltal; and issues. for various well-defined categories of students.
