USABO 2011 Discussion!

<p>there are some schools taking it later this week. i have no idea how that is allowed, but we can’t talk for a while.</p>

<p>it seems like the cutoff is generally about 70%</p>

<p>How many points were on this year’s test?</p>

<p>Anyone know when the scores come out?</p>

<p>^according to the website, on April 15, however if people are still taking the test until this Friday, then it may be delayed again.</p>

<p>I’m wondering how many of these late takers are the ones who qualify by having gotten the answers from other CCers…</p>

<p>Hey is it possible for some1 to go to both USABO finals and RSI? And I mean as in actually participate in, and not just qualify for.</p>

<p>What is RSI?</p>

<p>wondering the same as sMITten. taking the test a bit later than the “final date” for test administration is already unfair, and getting answers of other CCers…is just outright cheating.</p>

<p>what about the thing we sign saying that we are taking the test without any prior knowledge (of what is on the test)… it’s the honor system… how many are honorable?</p>

<p>According to the site, it also says April 30th though, [2011</a> USABO: Semifinal Exam results posted to the TRC and announcement of the 20 National Finalists | Center for Excellence in Education](<a href=“http://www.cee.org/event/2011/04/30/2011-usabo-semifinal-exam-results-posted-trc-and-announcement-20-national-finalists]2011”>http://www.cee.org/event/2011/04/30/2011-usabo-semifinal-exam-results-posted-trc-and-announcement-20-national-finalists)</p>

<p>ugh! what is with these date changes? i suppose they must be giving a lot of extra time (advantage) to lots of takers…</p>

<p>yea just as a reminder, don’t start posting until the end of next week just to be safe. the way this test went, it seems as if every point will matter…</p>

<p>Another month of waiting for scores…great.</p>

<p>who really knows when? it seems that the open score reports were (closer to) the earlier date, so hopefully that will be the right date also for the semi-final.</p>

<p>ok… so is everyone done taking this test yet?</p>

<p>i doubt it. lol besides, most people would not admit to that even if they hadn’t.</p>

<p>So how many people actually feel that they have a legitimate shot of finaling?</p>

<p>There’s a <0% chance of that happening this year for me…ugh.</p>

<p>Maybe I can final when pigs fly…naturally.</p>

<p>^ LOL so if u do make it to finals you better show me the flying pig. =D…but ditto</p>

<p>For the most part i think everyone has taken semifinals already. Should we wait another few days just to be safe or can we start discussing questions?</p>

<p>Well I have a copy of this year’s semifinal exam. I’m willing to trade it for answer keys to previous semifinal exams.</p>
