<p>Don’t discuss; its just 2 weeks until you find out your score, and discussing won’t increase your score.</p>
<p>What is usually the cutoff score in terms of a percentage? </p>
<p>When you guys say you did “bad” on part C, do you mean like you guessed on pretty much all of it? Cause that’s what I did lol. </p>
<p>Also just like to reiterate to NOT give away ANY answers. It’s hard to tell who’s taken the test and who hasn’t. </p>
<p>I gave a real answer for the first part, but for the second and third parts I mostly guessed. I ended up getting lucky on the last part because what I guessed was actually the right answer. What I’m worried about is that there were probably 20+ people who happened to know the answers for part C, and that makes a huge difference because that is where most of us lost points. </p>
<p>I still don’t get why 3 questions testing a very narrow scope of knowledge (actually, the last question was a very good one) should be worth more than all of part A and 30+ part B questions, the latter of which can prove one’s understanding of biology a LOT more.
lol I sound like a lil ■■■■■■ complaining so much sigh</p>
<p>Part C was eassssy guys!! I think I got 75% + on part C! :)</p>
<p>Part C may cause top 20 to be a crapshoot by testing such a small subset of biology and weighing it so much
I mean at least can we have each part on c equally weighted, etc, etc?</p>
<p>i misread part c number 1…so mad…that small question worth 10 points…and number 2 was worth way too many points for such a narrow scope of knowledge…wow…</p>
<p>How many points was part C actually worth? Someone told me 30 but it seemed like more. </p>
<p>65 </p>
<p>also pm me if you want to talk about the test. you’ll have to prove that you took it</p>
<p>!!! Has it always been worth that much?</p>
<p>From taking past semifinals, it was nowhere near 65 in the past. </p>
<p>Wow so the people that did know how to do part C got a huge boost. </p>
<p>yep </p>
<p>Ah well… I guess I never really actually had hope for camp. But just knowing that if I knew two specific things I might have made finals… </p>
<p>It was worth 65 points.</p>
<p>I’m so depressed now. I feel very cheated by cee at this point. How can they give a national test with questions on a very narrow scope and high weight? Need to cry out loud that they do something with the Part C weight.</p>
<p>I guess blame NSQ for making such a hard test!!! I think she leads the test-making team or something.</p>
<p>They have thrown out questions in the past. Based on the number of people that bombed part C, I would assume that they will need to throw out some of the short answer questions this year. </p>
