<p>In USABO, besides top 20, are there any top 50 (high honor) or top 150 (honor) lists?</p>
<p>anybody know what the score breakdowns they sent to us mean?</p>
<p>@college2012mp- no, i dont think there are any other lists like chem olympiad has</p>
<p>The chart has every question on the semifinal exam. If the middle column is blank, it means less than 10 finalists missed it. If the right column is blank, you got it right. Otherwise it shows your answer. It would be alot more useful if we had the test…</p>
<p>My Science Team teacher has the test. I’ll see if I can steal it from her and make PDFs or something.</p>
<p>@ Messiah- thanks for clarifying</p>
<p>And now we have copies of the test! How convenient.</p>
<p>hmm. the numbers don’t match up.
i guess ~20 of the qs were omitted?</p>
<p>I would seriously not be surprised if some of the really badly worded questions were cancelled, but 20 is huge. I have no idea where the went.</p>
<p>they probably ommitted questions from the chart if no finalists missed them</p>
<p>gah, this is messing up the review process.
@ Messiah: are you sure about that? that means the finalists agreed on less than 20 problems out of 140… which i find hard to believe.</p>
<p>u guys have the 2010 Semifinal exam pdf? :O</p>
<p>I agree with samgunno. I think the score sheets they gave us are messed up. Can the answer the number 5 really be RNA polymerase and not reverse transcriptase? You’ve got to be kidding me. Viruses can now insert RNA into our genomes? Sure…
And violinplayer, whats ur email address? I’ll send u the pdf and the screwed up answers if u want too</p>
<p>Also, the 9 questions near the end of the test about xylotomical/embryological/palynological and order/genus/species are weird on the score sheet. According to it, I got them all right. But they marked me wrong? Okay…</p>
<p>Guys, probably best not to trust that thing.</p>
<p>I haD the answer key – which I’m pretty sure had the right answers – I found it somewhere in my email yesterday, and now can’t find it anymore. :O</p>
<p>@Insorak
could u email me the key if you find it?
Thanks</p>
<p>Still haven’t found it yet, and to my great annoyance I’ve been really sick the past few days. I have awesome timing, don’t I? >.<</p>
<p>Anyways, if anyone hasn’t planned their shuttle from the airport yet, the address she sends you does NOT work on Google Maps. The “correct” address is 1301 3rd Street Drive. (Don’t use the Zip+4 search either; it screws up.) You should probably get the shuttle to drop you off at Follette’s Purdue West or whatever it is, that’s the closest to Hillenbrand.</p>
<p>are you guys planning to use the laundry services @ camp?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m gonna do laundry there.</p>
<p>Yeah. I’m bringing 8-9 days’ worth of clothes, and doing laundry once.</p>
