USA Biology Olympiad 2006

<p>well your open exam score is moot once you qual for semis; it doesn't factor into the natls qual. congratulations though; my teacher claims that she can't access our individual scores yet so I'm still waiting for that. >.<</p>

<p>yea i understand but its just a gauge of where i might be right now... btw how do you suggest preparing for the semis and what will the format be like?</p>

<p>I hate my teacher. I asked him today and he said he thinks scores will be out later this week. DUMBASS.</p>

<p>How does it work? Does the teacher log in and tell the students? Or does the teacher give the students their ID's and they check their own scores?</p>

<p>Oh yeah and congrats to ffsoul on your amazing score. :)</p>

<p>Any word on how many people got 41's? Oh, and does anyone know the cutoff score?</p>

<p>I got a 31.</p>

<p>Do I hear USABO blowing in the wind? haha last year i barely missed...</p>

<p>Now I'm actually going to study and try to man-up this semifinal test!</p>

<p>We don't do the Olympiads.</p>

<p>26 was the cutoff.</p>

<p>I know someone who got a 41... but I'll wait for him to post it himself. :P</p>

<p>My teacher got an email saying 3 of his students are semifinalists. We had 7 people take it in all, so I have a 43% chance of being a semifinalist!</p>

<p>(We don't know who got what yet because our teacher lost his user ID. I suggested that he contact CEE to get it and he was like "yeah, maybe next week." UGH.)</p>

<p>Oh wow. That is obnoxious. </p>

<p>If you had to guess a cutoff for the top 20 scores, what would you say?</p>

<p>I guess I'll start by saying 35...</p>

<p>39 .</p>

<p>The actual score on the open doesn't matter that much. I barely scraped by last year and then made it to nationals. This year I got a 40 so I hope reverse logic doesn't apply :).</p>

<p>hey guys, im back. I ended up with a 36 this year. I think this year's test was harder, because I got a 35 last year, and i think i know more now. but yeah it doesnt matter how well you do on the open, just how much you bust your a$$ between now and the time you take the semi's.</p>

<p>Very impressive, tilos. Glad to see you back scorcher. I hope I'll see you both in June.
Anyone here from Santa Monica?</p>

<p>hey does anyone know how many peps got in the 40's this year, i got a 39 so i want to know how much competition there is lol
btw does anyone have any tests from previous years?
please send them to me @ <a href="mailto:pfalconed@yahoo.com">pfalconed@yahoo.com</a></p>

<p>I made semifinals with a score of 30. I didn't prepare at all other than having taken AP Biology last year. </p>

<p>I'm surprised, because I don't remember any biology. </p>

<p>Don't have much hope for Finals. Oh well.</p>

<p>my teacher is having issues accessing the webpage. She got a call from cee saying that me and another kid qualified, but they didnt give our scores :( . What should we do to prepare for semis? If that includes doing old tests, does anyone know where we can get them? Would AP Bio review books help? Thanks.</p>

<p>Made it! :)</p>

<p>Congrats!!</p>

<p>How is everyone preparing for the semi-final exam?</p>
