This sounds like a really great idea. I might do it during my loads of time during the summer that would be otherwise spent doing something less productive (I mean, what could be more productive than studying for science olympiad, right?) Anyways, I just have one question. Since a lot of the events (for division B) are going to be new for next year, am I allowed to make a set of notes or a test for a new event that I know somewhat about? Because there's this one event...

You are indeed allowed.

Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.

I had a gigantic list of practice words for picture this, a meteorology test, and a metric unit conversion practice test saved on a flash drive, and it broke...

Hey guys, the submissions we've received so far are looking great- keep them rolling in! One thing I would like to note is that for Experimental Design, due to the simplicity of just making an experimental problem, we ask that you also submit an exemplary sample writeup to go with your problem. It would be kind of like a key to a test event. Thanks!
