<p>@piccoloJR. (baby of a green thing?) my local section is awesome and the top scorer gets close to half a grand in cash money (^_^). so, i want to do well this year on the stupid local exam (last year there were two ties...59s, and one of the people was a returning camper who made it to internationals). and i foundered about.</p>
<p>oh i take the local exam on thursday. i'll probably find out the results...saturday? i think that was what happened last year for me.</p>
<p>bump....i want my score. I'm very impatient..which is part of the reason i hate taking SAT's: the scores take way to long to come.</p>
<p>haha you'llsee where did you take the test?</p>
<p>at my school in AP Chem class. I'm in Pennsylvania</p>
<p>how do sections usually contact the semifinalists?</p>
<p>^ I would also like to know. Also, if you took the exam in class, does the section notify you directly, or do they tell your teacher to notify you?</p>
<p>bump..............</p>
<p>semifinals? as in the national test?</p>
<p>the coordinator called me last year over the weekend.</p>
<p>has anyone gotten their score yet?</p>
<p>I took the local about 1.5 weeks ago, but I don't believe our coordinator calls...my teacher registered me and I never provided my phone number, so I'm guessing after spring break is over, I'll find out from my teacher.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>got my score...</p>
<p>T_T</p>
<p>58...but i thought i only got 1 wrong.</p>
<p>damn =/</p>
<p>Oh well, at least there's still camp to look forward to.</p>
<p>Do past campers get to go back to camp automatically? Or do they just go straight to national exam? If that's the case, there is one camper in my school who took the local exam, but since only 2 from each school can take national...I guess he will take one of the spots. However, if he's exempt from the local and goes straight to national exam, would he still take one of our school's spots? I ask only because there are probably 3 kids from our school, including him and myself, that are somewhat decent at chem...and it would suck if I was the third that couldn't take it.</p>

<p>To Nationals...</p>
<p>yeah that would be a bit too cheap to let them come back to camp. Although I think bronze medalists might have some leeway, but even if they didnt, a medalist before senior year will have no problems making it back to camp (and the team)</p>
<p>past campers must take the national exam. even if they take locals, they dont take one of the "two" spots.</p>
<p>i dont recall anything about medalists being able to skip the national exam...basically if you're good enough to go to icho you better be good enough to pretty much ace the nationals.</p>
<p>thanks jdl, i guess thats good news for me then...hopefully ill get to take nationals now.</p>
<p>@ jd: thats basically what I was trying to say.</p>
<p>bump...why is the USNCO thread much less successful than the USABO thread?</p>
<p>because USNCO is not for 3 weeks and today was the last day for USABO testing.</p>
