USABO 2018-2019

Hi guys! I am new here! So my school has never done the bio Olympiad and I was wondering when do we start to register our schools for the 2020 USABO competition?

Also I am planning to read Camp Bell Biology 11th edition and I was wondering how long did it take you guys to read it the first time through? Also did you take notes reading it your first time?

Notes are the worst time waster ever unless you really know how to take them efficiently

@bioooo Registration opens around October, I think. As for Campbells, it really depends on how much you read per day. If you read a chapter a day, you’ll be done in roughly 2 months.

which edition of the campbell should I use? There is an 11th edition, and 9th edition(concepts and connections) those two books came out at roughly the same time(which is very confusing) and later I found out they different versions of campbell book.

A good resource to test your knowledge.

Did you figure out which to use?
