Just finished it. Pretty confident except for some where I had to guess. PM if you have taken and want to talk
I have a few questions about the exam:
What are “multiple true/false choice” questions in the open exam? Can someone give me an example of one? And how many of those are there?
Also how many questions are there total? (is it still 50 even with the multiple true/false choice questions?)
There are questions where it will give a series of statements and you just bubble all of the letters that are true if that is what you are referring to. An example:
Select ALL statements that are true concerning the Photosynthesis Reaction Center (Photosystem II)?
A. The Photosynthesis Reaction Center contains chlorophyll and sometimes Fe-heme groups.
B. It is a globular protein found in the cytoplasm where it acts as an antenna protein.
C. It oxidizes carbon dioxide and produces H2O.
D. It transfers high-energy electrons to an acceptor nearby in the thylakoid membrane.
E. The Photosynthesis Reaction Center is usually a heterotetramer, but may be a heterotrimer in some species of cyanobacteria.
Yes there are only 50 questions
@Maggy123 lol tbh I almost had a heart attack when i saw your question because I thought people had already started discussing questions.
Guys, don’t start discussing the questions just yet. Some schools are getting an extension through next week.
Use PM until then if you need to.
I’d advise you just don’t say anything (PM or public) until after we know everyone’s done, as it’s not that hard to say “That was such a hard test! What did you think about that one genetics question? PM me so I can check if I got it right…”
And hi @botherme !! (Bo-therme, two syllables xD)
@wanahakalugi whatup man! Haha, its been a while, but I see you’ve been especially busy. Hope to see you again at camp, and make sure to overstock on lychee candy 
-Bo
@botherme guess you’re officially Bo now! 
When do we get results?
@THEWINNER1 I think it says on the USABO website calendar.
@biosmasher I have many names. Call me what you like
Since I’m taking it soon what exactly do we need to bring for the test?
@skyisover you don’t need anything but number 2 pencils. They give you everything else that is needed.
oh i thought that we needed a 4-function calculator or something
They gave me one
Quick question, it’s my first year taking the test and do you guys know how long it will be till results are posted?
Hey there, in Google type in USA BO calendar, for 2015. You can find a calendar that states when results for 2015 come out.
Good luck!
I think it is March 13
Isn’t USABO tests more difficult then the actual IBO. After all it is the IBO we are competing for.
