I am not an official source and I don't know for sure myself, but I think the topic will be staying the same.

Disease Detectives - the test was unlike any other Disease test I've taken before, and quite difficult as well. I'm impressed with how the test writer managed to ask questions on stuff that doesn't show up on other tests at all. Scores were pretty low for a Disease test for this event. Coming out o...

Oh ok thanks. Do I need to know stuff like how bigor long a feature is? Having a rough idea of the scale, what features are bigger/smaller than others, etc. can be useful. Generally, only focus on the size if that's what makes the feature significant. Most features are interesting for reasons other...

I can tell that Troy is going to get 1st this year

No. This year they fall.

Lol good luck. They're Troy. They don't fall until they have fallen.

2016 wasn't that long ago...

Oh ok. I still don’t know how in depth do I have to study. So in NASA’s website, https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/earths-moon/in-depth/#formation_otp, the part of formation of the moon is only a paragraph long. But in Wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_Moon, it is much more ...

Oh ok. The rules says that “Participants must be knowledgeable about the history and geologic processes involved in the formation and evolution of Earth’s moon and other rocky bodies of the solar system.”. Do you know what rocky bodies is the rules referring to? I think that even though it's not ex...

Ok thanks. Do you know if the test going to be printed in black and white or in color? What exactly would the hands on task be about? Isn’t it basically going to be about the same thing sample performance task? Also, have anyone bought the Recommended Resources before? Are they helpful? Most tourna...

Ok thanks. I have any question. How deep do I have to study? Participants may be asked to identify geologic surface features and internal structures of the objects listed below as they appear on diagrams, maps, or images. Each of them must have a lot of geologic surface features so do I need to lea...

Thank you very much!! Was Circuit lab not part of the Div B invitational? I don't see the test in there. Sorry for the late response! We've added Circuit Lab B/C to the folder now. Also what about code, forensics, geomap, and protien (for C) ⋅ Code Busters is not released due to the test ...

Hi all,

I got all my notes from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_and_evolution_of_the_Solar_System. Do you think I need more? I got all of my information from space.com and Wikipedia, mainly wikipedia though. Some digging around for other websites. Honestly if you just search up each ...

Just wondering... do you guys save websites/files on your computer as HTML or PDF files? PDF, but thats only a last resort. Websites (often, not always) have lots of fluff in them, so I try to extract the info and turn it into notes rather than look at entire websites. This is pretty similar to wha...

Hey everyone, dkarkada and I ran Solar System together at this weekend's UT Invitational. In case any of you are interested, here's the test and the key , which can also be found on his beautiful website . As with the Astronomy test, I am personally quite happy with how the scores turned out. A lot...
