what do you mean no thanks?
i think it's perfectly valid to be discussing usabo</p>
<p>besides, bio's a really important subject, any studying you do for usabo can only help you in the long run, right?

<p>i think it`s perfectly valid to be discussing about biology, too. and it does help in the long run - of course.</p>
<p>im talking about the hard study in all subjects.. yawn like right now im memorizing for my bio test coming up after winter break. my head is dizzy right now.</p>
<p>wait so what were you talking about?</p>
<p>no, the question is: what were you talking about?</p>
<p>study and memorization gives you credit!</p>
<p>ok so back to my original question. does anyone have copy or copies of old exam(s)? if so can you guys please pm or email me the said test(s)?</p>
<p>From the sample Qs on the website, USABO seems hard...</p>
<p>The President (going to Princeton, semifinalist last year) and Secretary of my school's Science Club are making longass unit tests for us based on previous USABO questions, previous IBO questions, and various other national-level IBO exams. I <333333 them.</p>
<p>does anyone have any actual test material though?</p>
<p>GoldShadow - do you mean the Q's about the plant genes A, B, and C and stuff? Cause I think that's either for the semifinalist exam or the IBO.</p>
<p>Yeah those are the ones I was referring to. What are the "simpler" questions like?</p>
<p>Transport of which nutrient across the intestinal epithelium is by passive diffusion?

e. all of the above</p>
<p>The fluidity of a lipid bilayer is enhanced with:
a. decreased temperature
b. increased unsaturation in fatty acid tails

e. increased fatty acid chain length</p>
<p>DNA is replicated during which phase of the cell cycle.
a. prophase
b. metaphase

<p>You mean 10-page thread. I don`t see the other half.</p>
<p>Oh, kchen. I do adore you.</p>
<p>Those are much easier... maybe I'll look into this whole USABO thing after all.</p>
<p>theoneo, I told you to keep them to yourself. I don't need them.</p>
<p>Sorry, milady. I guess I couldn't control myself.</p>
<p>Yes, you definitely need to have some control over yourself.</p>
<p>tsk tsk. both of you :)</p>
<p>people can get really excited about bio i guess</p>
