<p>I wanted to go over some questions on the preliminary round. Did anyone take it here?</p>
<p>Me!!!
I totally bombed it, though.
Then again, I also thought I bombed it last year, and I qualified.
So I'm still hoping. :cool:</p>
<p>I KNOW I failed the open-ended part.</p>
<p>I didn't answer some questions I had no excuse for not answering...</p>
<p>Yeah I took it...got 22 of the first 25 right for sure, but only got 1 of the next 13 right :(</p>
<p>Any chance I can make it to semi-finalist status?</p>
<p>How/Where do you take the USAPhO?</p>
<p>stone_cutter: usually, your physics teacher signs people up for it sometime in late dec/early jan.</p>
<p>the prelim (F=ma test) is early feb, quarterfinal near the end of march, and semi's in mid-march.</p>
<p>I don't know anyone who took it and I'm not in physics until next year. </p>
<p>But does the name remind anyone of the Vietnamese..?</p>
<p>somni: a little, yes.</p>
<p>and, fittingly enough, the ipho this year is in hanoi.</p>
