USA Biology Olympiad 2006

<p>it was my first too. i took ap bio last year but forgot almost everything, skimmed crazily through apbio books the night before it; difficult nevertheless. i'd like to know when we find out as well.</p>

<p>in about 2 weeks if I remember correctly. sheets have to be mailed to VA for scoring.</p>

<p>Yeah, I thought it was a bit easier than last year; I predict the cutoff will be in the vicinity of 28.</p>

<p>What do you guys figure cutoffs for top 20, top 4, and top score will be?</p>

<p>What's typically the top score? I'm thinking 45. Or more.</p>

<p>I think the semifinals cutoff might hit 30 this year.</p>

<p>where do they announce the high scores? is it on the cee website?</p>

<p>The top score will be included with the score information sent to your teacher. Last year the top score was 42, and the year before was 45.</p>

<p>So how are you guys prepping for semis/finals? Do you just go though Campbell?</p>

<p>For the semis, everything you need to know is in Campbell. Don't worry about any other materials until you know Campbell very well.</p>

<p>Haha I'm not gonna worry about semis until I know for a fact whether I got in.</p>

<p>hey Chris, you coming back to camp this year?</p>

<p>Not sure about myself... I want to, but I also got offered a pretty nice biotech internship and i'm not sure if they overlap.</p>

<p>Hmmm... who's this mysterious well-wisher?</p>

<p>are you going to be a counselor this year, cada?</p>

<p>can it be? is it the infamous biomaster? </p>

<p>"^^^^ We'll see what happens this year, b****"</p>

<p>that's too funny.</p>

<p>purge/pea - So far, I don't think anyone has heard anything past the initial request. I'm hoping they're just overworked and understaffed, having lost two people, but I'm kinda curious about them having asked you, purge. I really want to do it, but we'll see.</p>

<p>Shouldn't we find out soon? the Semifinals exam is in 3 weeks.</p>

<p>I heard that the results are coming out on February 27th; that is, of course, unconfirmed. Last year the results came out in early March.</p>

<p>Apparently last</a> year scores were supposed to be released online on Friday, February 25. Following the same logic, our scores should be released... tomorrow. =O</p>

<p>But apparently they didn't come in until March 4, which is the equivalent of next Friday.</p>

<p>Scores are available; how'd everyone do?</p>

<p>37... high score is 41 do u think 37 will make top 20?</p>
