2012 USABO Thread

<p>Yup. June 3rd – June 15th/June 17th if you make IBO.</p>

<p>Ok - thanks! I guess that means a lot of people (at least on the East Coast) miss a lot of school (finals??)</p>

<p><em>shrugs</em>
I mean, I’m on the west coast, and I would be missing two straight weeks of school and possibly graduation, ahah.</p>

<p>Oh, missing school is one thing - but missing graduation? That’s terrible! (How do your parents feel about that? - for xanthosine or anyone who is in the same boat)</p>

<p>I know someone who had to choose between attending their prom or doing an Olympiad last year…</p>

<p>Jun 3-15th<br>
National Finals</p>

<p>Jun 14th<br>
Announcement of Awards and selection of team to IBO</p>

<p>Jun 15-17th<br>
Instruction and Mentoring of USA team to IBO</p>

<p>what the heck is “honorable mention”? my S received that certificate today. don’t remember if he got that last year too.</p>

<p>it’s the “good job on making it to semifinals” certificate; I think everyone gets it. i got it last week from my teacher</p>

<p>ah ok, then he must have gotten it last year too. makes sense.</p>

<p>thanks :-)</p>

<p>Ah well, there’s always next year, right! (Well, for the non-seniors I guess haha). Now to start the 2013 thread…</p>

<p>My parents do not really feel well about that, but it’s outside of our control – it is not even certain when graduation is going to be yet, so hopefully it will not conflict with anything! Although I’m already ineligible for prom thanks to too many absences, ahah :P</p>

<p>…also, I’ve received an official invitation to attend finals from CEE, much earlier than I’d ever hoped to hear anything. So, um…good luck, everyone :)</p>

<p>huh? aren’t official invitations sent out on Thursday? That’s what I’ve been told…</p>

<p>…Um, I’m not really sure what happened. Perhaps I have been the unwitting beneficiary of a glitch in the system?</p>

<p>I didn’t get any invitation either… not sure what’s happening.</p>

<p>Maybe the CEE people are going in order of ID numbers or alphabetically by last or first names?</p>

<p>I think you guys probably don’t care anymore, but I knew I wasn’t just making that up. </p>

</p>

<p>Hmm. I also got the earlier email but have not received the invitation yet.</p>

<p>@caebidfed: awesome; its good they have that information online. Maybe you should request that they also make it clearer on the test form itself? It was quite strange that multiple answers should’ve been possible for all part B questions when only a handful explicitly stated “select all that apply”</p>

<p>How many correct answers do you think a “select all that apply” question may have?</p>

<p>lol strange question… common sense would tell me if there are 5 answer choices, then anywhere from 0 to 5 correct answers.</p>

<p>Has anyone gotten their score today? What was the cut off?</p>
