*"Official" 2013 USABO*

<p>@rupnok: perhaps it may have been removed after this morning? I was definitely not seeing things haha. I’ll check with my teacher again.</p>

<p>@darksigma I not sure they (USABO) have their act together enough to crunch the numbers and put forth a coherent statement in this short span of time. IIRC this above statement appeared several days after scores were released in 2012.</p>

<p>I somehow don’t trust this year’s evaluations and status determinations.</p>

<p>So many unhappy students because of this glitch.</p>

<p>@rupnok: you’re right, those are apparently 2012 statistics when i checked again with my teacher.</p>

<p>The CEE has decided on 25 as the cutoff for several days now, they may be short of staff due to the storm so they can’t get the computer glitch fixed yet. Whether there were some errors affected all the students the same. All four of our students made the semi-finals and all got 8-10 points below expectation. One got in the top 5! They will start studying for the semi now… Be humble!</p>

<p>How does he/she know they were in the top 5?</p>

<p>sorry based on your prev stats, or I should say probably got in…</p>

<p>what was the cut off?
and what is the format of the semifinals?
is each multiple question worth one point?</p>

<p>is preparing for the semifinal exam the same as preparing for the open? Like just reading campbell, raven, maybe alberts?</p>

<p>Who has a practice semi that they want to trade?</p>

<p>I only have the 2006, 2009, and 2010 semifinal exams. Anyone want to send me some more?</p>

<p>Want to trade one of those for the 2010?</p>

<p>Distribution of scores can be accessed by your teacher: there was 1 42, 1 41, 1 40, 2 39’s, 2 38’s, no 37’s, and then the pack followed. </p>

<p>Um, Dark Sigma, I got a 37.</p>

<p>yeah i know, rupnok and I confirmed that these are 2012 results not 2013… just see above in this thread</p>

<p>My teacher made my account for me so I don’t have the password and though I asked her about it at school today, she has not sent me any information regarding my scores. Is there a way that one of you can post/send me a list of the semi-finalists?</p>

<p>Everybody is complaining about the questions and the answer key but if you want to actually take a look, download the exam that I posted a few pages back. Also, I made a answer key and it was pretty accurate, my score was only about 3 off from the answer key that I created.</p>

<p>Are results finalized? I checked the exam after a couple of days I took it and I’m pretty sure I got at least 24 right + (1-2). My score currently says 21…I don’t think I could possibly do worse than last year (got a 25) and by that big of a margin. Can anyone send me the answer key? emblem101?</p>

<p>I’ve got plenty of semis but no answer keys except 2010.</p>

<p>I would take all talk of trading to PMs. Qualifiers for semis are usually not identified by name. Last year USABO posted results by state. See my posts in the 2012 discussion.</p>
