Summary/Abstract: The level of mathematical preparedness of secondary-school graduates influences not only the possibility of entering natural science faculties of university, but also the success of subsequent education. At present, when enrolling in Russian universities, the mathematical preparation of the entrant is assessed based on the result of the Unified State Exam. This research proposed to use the mathematical content of competitive chemistry tasks for indirect assessment of the degree of the university applicant's preparedness.
