<p>"this year at camp...
5 from Cali
4 from NY
5 from NJ
6 people from elsewhere...</p>
<p>doing the difficult math, 25% were from cali, 25% were from NJ, 20% were from NY. WOW. (thats kinda sad...underrepresentation from the other states"</p>
<p>NJ is also much smaller than either NY or Cali.</p>
<p>^but we're the dense-est :)</p>
<p>and the dirtiest in some sections >_></p>
<p>How do we sign for the local exam help please? I can't do the natl' exam since i am only a permanent resident (green card) right?</p>
<p>Sorry, you need to be a U.S. citizen. The rule is dumb, but there is nothing to do about it.</p>
<p>if i make semifinalist but not the top 2 in my school can i still write that i'm a semifinalist.</p>
<p>No. The rule is there to prevent one school from stacking up its odds in the USNCO.</p>
<p>so on my college resume i can't write that i scored higher than the cutoff >_></p>
<p>jw, lol, no i don't do this just for college</p>
<p>wow, 1400 posts in 3 months....I've been here for over a year longer than you have and I have 400 less posts >_></p>
<p>lol yeah i spend too much time here instead of studying.</p>
<p>did you do the screening exam for the physics olympiad?</p>
<p>not yet. lol</p>
<p>why</p>
<p>do they</p>
<p>all have to be scheduled</p>
<p>at the same time</p>
<p>uh you only have one day left to do it, and bio isnt till next week lol (although I agree it's too close to AMC 12A)</p>
<p>oh
well i really i dont care if i miss this, i won't pass anyways
my teachers are supposedly taking care of everything</p>
<p>haha thats screwed up</p>
<p>edit: do you know how many people take the F=ma test</p>
<p>aw that's too bad, i'm looking at some past tests on the internet and it's not so hard</p>
<p>i heard that to pass you have to get near perfect or only 1 or 2 wrong?</p>
<p>AWW NOW I AM SAD, STUPID TEACHERS WHO DIDN'T REMIND ME >____>
i know its my fault.</p>
<p>now instead of knowing definitely that i wasn't even close to make the cutoff, i will never know...</p>
<p>oh well, i'll focus on BIO MATH CHEM now =(</p>
<p>Near perfect? I doubt it, the cut-off mark last year was supposedly a 75%, and now there are twice as many spots to advance to the next round.</p>
<p>The tests the past two years have been on only mechanics, and therefore harder than any versions you saw online.</p>
<p>EDIT: Just saw somewhere that last year's average score was 30%.</p>
