USABO 2011 Discussion!

<p>our school got an extension due to scheduling problems. it’s only an extra 4 days though.</p>

<p>It’ll be interesting to see if your scores are accepted. The exam date was the 8-18… there was scheduling problems every day during that time? Never mind, just being sassy.</p>

<p>any advices for semifinals?</p>

<p>i really hope they’ll accept our scores. there were scheduling problems because our school has a midterm period during the month of february where students only come in to school on certain days to take midterm exams for whatever courses they are taking. our teacher said that there shouldn’t be a problem though, so i’m not that worried.</p>

<p>I’ll offer some advice about SemiFinals even though I’ve never done them before.
Basically, I’m studying Campbell’s all the time. I’m gonna try and read it 3 or 4 times before the Semi’s roll around, and I’m ordering Raven’s book and a molecular biology book tonight. I’ll read through those once, more if I have time.
I’m also gonna start doing some practice Biology GRE’s.</p>

<p>my friend from California is taking it Feb 28. due to some weather and other issues. They asked USABO for the extension and it was accepted so I dont think it is safe to talk about the USABO until March 4 (after the list comes out)</p>

<p>Okay. No discussion of Open questions until Semi results, then?</p>

<p>Since I’m a reasonable person and I recognize the difficulty of finding past Semis:</p>

<p>I will give you all 200 problems if you can give me a valid username and password for the Campbell website, either for 7th edition or 8th edition. My 7th edition subscription expired in November, and I don’t want to use my 8th edition one yet. If you are interested in this offer say so here and I will PM you.</p>

<p>(First come, first served, needless to say. :wink: )</p>

<p>@Insorak</p>

<p>I have the campbell resource and can give it to you, but your PM isn’t working.</p>

<p>Insorak look at your visitor messages. I have to leave, please PM me =)</p>

<p>@Insorak + everyone else</p>

<p>I think it would make sense to have no discussion until results come out, you never know what schools have what extensions.</p>

<p>I can give it to you, but your PM isn’t working…
Will you change the password or leave the settings/username/password as they are? Because I’d give it you if we could both use it.</p>

<p>I’m now taken. Sorry, everyone else, y’all are too slow. :P</p>

<p>Insorak, you said you will give us all 200 problems… I assumed that means to the public.</p>

<p>Wow he’s right, it’s even in bold. :D</p>

<p>Actually Insorak meant all of the 200 problems he has, but he hasn’t even sent them to me…so I feel duped. Maybe Insorak was busy and couldn’t send them for the past week? I don’t want to assume he tricked me, but hopefully he keeps his promise.</p>

<p>nevermind, just received it, thanks Insorak!</p>

<p>Hello everyone, I hope everyone did well on the open exam! I have some Semifinal tests (2008, 2009, 2010) and one Open Exam (2007). These do not have answers on them unfortunately but I could give you what I thought were the answers if you want. Does anyone want to trade for some other Semifinals or other tests. I would prefer with answers! It will be an even exchange so either one test for one test or one semifinal and an open exam for 200 questions! Anyone interested please pm me! Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, don’t think you can find these tests on the web because I have tried and you can’t!</p>

<p>Why can’t people just share and care about the love of learning biology? I don’t think that sharing truly threatens anyone’s chances of advancing… it just might be a group of CC friends :)</p>

<p>This isn’t facebook, but if it was i would “like” your comment sMITten=P</p>
