<p>@Audrae The USABO website set March 5 as a tentative date.</p>
<p>At this point, I don’t even want to think about all the questions I got wrong. It’s over now, and there’s nothing I can do to change my answers.</p>
<p>honestly, it doesn’t matter if you got 43+ or 33+. We all get to take the semifinal on the same level. Don’t worry guys :D</p>
<p>yeah, um, this was brougth up a few pages ago, but you should really take those answers down/not post answers right after taking the test in the future. some schools did indeed get extensions, for example my school: we took the test today. there really might be others that have yet to take the test. and you don’t want to raise the cutoff unnecessarily, no?</p>
<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I think I got a 50 on the test, assuming I guessed correctly 10 questions (I am a very good guesser). Biology is really not difficult and all about memorization. I think the cutoff will be lower though, maybe 20, as I am typically over <em>twice</em> as knowledgeable as a semifinal participant. Please let me know if you need any help with bio!</p>
<p>… please don’t tell me this guy actually posted this. Or at least tell me he’s a ■■■■■</p>
<p>Umm we should prob delete the questions in that case
Just kidding we can’t /:</p>
<p>lol what if CEE invalidates the test and we don’t get USABO this year</p>
<p>I doubt it. I’m just afraid of a drastically higher cutoff (mid-low 30s). Does anyone know the past cutoffs for years besides 2013?</p>
<p>upper 20s usually. in 2010 it was 24</p>
<p>I think one of the highest cutoffs in the past (2011) was 29. </p>
<p>The stupid thing about this is that we know that at least one person looked at this before taking the test as he/she took it today. And, we know that many others also took it. So, we have raised the cutoff by potentially 5 or 6 points because we discussed that many questions. This is bad.</p>
<p>Don’t like 10,000 people take it annually? I doubt a few higher scores will raise 5-6 points… </p>
<p>Karma will “select for” those who work hard. Cheaters will be “selected against” 
</p>
<p>besides, it’s only the open exam. If this happened on the semifinal exam… we’d be done for lol</p>
<p>CEE should just redo the Open to ensure test integrity.There is time…How hard is it to rewrite bio questions anyway??</p>
<p>they wouldn’t do that lol. </p>
<p>mmm pretty hard if you want to ensure the integrity of the questions. ten bucks says they had these done more before 2014</p>
<p>Sigh but really if the cutoff is above 33 I am actually screwed.
And tbh I definitely don’t deserve the score I got and definitely think I could’ve done better. </p>
<p>@Lucky139 is this your first year?</p>
<p>Yeah. Except it’s also my last year so it really would crush me if I didn’t make it /:</p>
