Can we only submit things after June 1st, or can we submit things sooner?

If you submit things earlier, we will not be able to accept it, so we would prefer that you please NOT send it before then. We are working on logistical stuff basically, and at least I know I'll be a bit busy until June 1st for reviewing materials sent in anyway. Please just remember whenever you do send it in READ FOREVER'S POST AT THE START OF THIS THREAD. It contains various details important to test-making, note-making, and sending in the stuff (eg. file format, etc). We would like to make the process of accepting materials quick, and if you read that post, then it should be.

This is the third year that I will be participating in SSSS, and I can't wait to get started! This program has really benefited me in prepping for my events and becoming familiar with the various concepts early on. Great way to learn how to make good practice tests too!

This is my third year with forever + mnstr, and I am (we are?) very happy for the excitement . Of course, I agree about the usefulness, heh. Looking forward to reading (and throwing piles of advice at muahahah) the submissions.

Are we allowed to send something for a different division? For example send a guide for a division B event even if we are in division C and still get in?

I don't see why not as long as we can approve it, is about a relevant event, follows file format (if you can save as PDF...which you really should be able to), etc. I would like to say if it's something someone else made please we trust you won't send that in and will do your own work (seems random, but I like to throw in random precautions). Also, yes, if you copy it off wiki/test exchange/something from the past likely the reviewer will know (at least I will).

EDIT: I found the trial event rules from 2013 and its list. Should I just base my practice test off of the 2013 list?

Let's say I want to make a quick practice test for an event such as Invasive Species. Where would I find a list of the potential organisms that may or may not appear on the examination for the event? Very excited to participate in SSSS this year!

Yes, use the 2013 national trial list (it is probably the closest available option to what the official list will be for next season). I would imagine that there would only minor changes to that trial list for the official list.

For easier tests to write like ExpD or WIDI, would you want multiple tests made, or would you prefer only one?
