Official USABO 2015

hey, did anyone else take the exam today, if so, what did you think of the frq?

Is it just me or did campbell not cover it?

PLEASE don’t discuss anything exam related until at least a week after the window is finished. Even saying something like that could tell people to focus on studying materials outside Campbells instead of focusing on the book.

Yeah the frq was way too specific unless you read alberts(try reading a whole text in a day for those who haven’t taken it yet)

@termcc There are people who have been granted an extension for more than a week. Please listen to @wanahakalugi and do not discuss…

How do you do a western blot? And why is it different than southern?

Does anyone know when the testing extension ends?

@Chickenwing12‌ Wait about a week from now, and then we should be fine.

And if you really want to discuss, feel free to do so with people at your own school as I’m assuming they took it at the same time haha

^See that becomes a problem when there are only like three people in your state who take the semis.

Anybody else notice a lot of errors (spelling mistakes, ambiguities, etc.) in this year’s test?

Yeah, that was part of the struggle

Hey guys. I started this thread. I didnt even join BioOly and switched from IB Bio HL2 to Physics 2 at school :smiley:

lmao everyone telling each other not to dicuss LOOOOOOOOL
hope u guys get into good colleges and not have regret

how do you “join” bioOly?

some schools have bio oly clubs (unfortunately not my school…)

Has anyone heard any results? I heard I got “honorable mention” but I’m not sure exactly what that is.

@andyis Results don’t come out until 4/15. Who told you that you got honorable mention? Pretty sure there’s no such thing except high honors.

Alright thanks for clarification. It was my usabo teacher btw. She may have mistaken it with qualify for semis, which I did get

Yeah probably recognition for semis. We got our certificates today too.
