2013 F=MA Physics Olympiad Exam

<p>For the 2013 F=MA test.
If you want to discuss send me a pm (with proof).</p>

<p>I just took the test too but I don’t have 15 posts yet</p>

<p>Message me on email then. It’s mstrpwr123 @ yahoo dot com.</p>

<p>No CCers do physics olympiad huh?</p>

<p>bump for USAPHO</p>

<p>I took it.</p>

<p>I took it too</p>

<p>got trolled so hard by it…damn</p>

<p>That was tough, I’d be lucky to make semis.</p>

<p>By the way, If I took it on WebAssign, when do I get my scores back?</p>

<p>^i’d assume February 20th?</p>

<p>What’d you guys think? Predict the cutoff.
I think 15 flat.</p>

<p>nah… there weren’t any “hard” problems this year. I predict at least 17.</p>

<p>im thinking 15 too, was harder than last years…</p>

<p>Any idea when the solutions will be posted? Today is supposed to be the last day the test can be given. </p>

<p>I guestimate the cutoff will be about the same as last year’s +/- .5. The level of difficulty seems the same.</p>

<p>What is Physics Olympiad? My son has been participating in some club with his AP Physics teacher but thought it was somehow tied to Destination Imagination. Son doesn’t really pay attention to details. Wondering if Physics Olympiad is something you could be involved in without really knowing what it is. What is the exam you refer to?.</p>

<p>Trolled very hard by the problems. There weren’t a lot of fluid stuff on previous tests so I skimped on studying that. Also the first few questions weren’t super easy and take like 20 seconds each like some previous tests.</p>

<p>What’s the cutoff going to be like this year? Will 23/25 be enough?</p>

<p>Are you serious? I don’t see how anyone could miss the cutoff with a score higher than 18!</p>

<p>Anyone know what the highest cutoff ever was?</p>

<p>i think around a 16.5
And I have taken all the practice tests (2008-2012) that the iPhO web site offers and there was nothing ever like the 2013 one. No way the cut off is anywhere above 15.5.</p>
