How in-depth do you have to go for USABO?

To the OP: I am a USABO Semifinalist this year, and the USA Biology Olympiad Open Exam is pretty in-depth. You will not be memorizing stuff like atomic numbers but will need to apply some concepts with plants, genetics, ecology, etc. The Open Exam is pretty “random” though so I can’t tell you how to cover everything comfortably, but if you understand most of Campbell’s Biology book then you will be more than fine.
