USABO 2016-2017

This is the largest thread with a whopping 20 posts. Hopefully this reflects the competition :))

I’ve been checking this thread for a while hoping that someone would talk again lol. Does anyone happen to have 2014-2016 open exams??? I’ve been doing really close to the cutoff on my practice tests and the tests seem to get harder every year.

@Dukehopeful98 Are the tests delayed? Does this mean the testing window will be extended?

can someone post the link to the usabo facebook chat?

I’m a sophomore and hope to do better than I did last time.

are there any group chats/ other discussions going on?

do we want to do something like last year? google doc for only verified people? I took it today…

@ScienceFTW How was the test compared to previous years?

How would the google doc thing work?

Like last year some guy was the moderator and made sure you took the test with a bunch of questions and gave yoy permission to enter the doc and discuss questions.

I just made a doc, send me your emails if you want to join. @Anonymous1418 @ScienceFTW

The test was def harder than last year in my opinion. @Steinalbert did you take it?

Yeah, as usual the tests keep getting harder and cutoff gets lower.

@ScienceFTW I added you btw

DM @steinalbert your email and he will make sure you took it then give you access to the doc.

yes DM me and I will add you after a quick verification

feels proud to have the biggest 2017 usabo thread.

I’m gonna take it next week and its cram time until then. I got a 14.93 last time lol.

Hey Can I join the Doc @steinalbert

What is the cutoff usually? Also, at the top of this page, @steinalbert said that the cutoff keeps getting lower. Is that just a typo, or is the cutoff actually determined by your number of wrong answers (as opposed to # of correct answers)? Sorry if I’m being obnoxious, but my test is on Tuesday. :smiley:

Also, what’s this Google doc thing about? :smiley:
