You can add entomology to that list as well. I know we missed 3 (pretty sure that's it), but two of those were correctable. The winners almost definitely missed 1, which would be the most ambiguous fill in the blank question i have ever seen. Also no, they never release raw scores

I actually kinda liked the tiny specimen... They were at least a small challenge in relation to the rest of the test. The two huge issues were that they used the most straight-forward specimens (i.e. the horntail and swallowtail) and the questions were copied straight out of the Audubon. I could've ...

Did anyone else find the nationals test to be reeeaaaallllly hard? We got 46th (ouch ) but I'd like to see what some of the top teams thought of the test.
