<p>Does your school have to have a WYSE team in order for you to compete?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Taking practice tests is your best bet, especially on Chemistry (the questions don’t change much from year to year). </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>According to their Web site:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am guessing that they offer this accommodation to non-home-schooled students as well.</p>
<p>This is only for kids in Illinois?</p>
<p>I quote verbatim from the organization’s website:</p>
<p>

<p><a href=“https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/display/wyse/Academic+Challenge[/url]”>https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/display/wyse/Academic+Challenge</a></p>
<p>So if your school does not have a WYSE team (is that the name for it), how would I go about asking for this accommodation? Would I have to set up my own team because it seems as though the “team” doesn’t actually practice or anything and it’s just moniker for a group of people taking the test from a school, which I can assure that no one is taking it from mine?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Try emailing the coordinator for the site of your regional competition: <a href=“https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/display/wyse/Competiton+Sites+and+Dates[/url]”>https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/display/wyse/Competiton+Sites+and+Dates</a>.</p>
<p>OK, and although the answer might seem obvious, how does one go about finding his/her sectional site/regional site?</p>
<p>Do you know where I could find practice tests?</p>
<p>This website has all the information you need about WYSE and has old tests from each of the 7 categories.</p>

<p>There’s a username and password to access the tests. If your school has a team then your coordinator can give you the username and password.</p>
<p>So who’s taking the WYSE regional tests? I’ll be competing in Chemistry and Biology.</p>
