Re: Herpetology B/C
That seems to be the trend that I've seen. I've taken two herpetology tests that were station based, but that seems highly improbable at nationals.

Re: Herpetology B/C
Not quite sure what would make you think stations is improbably for an ID event. ID events at nationals (and any good competition) are almost always physical stations (sometimes powerpoint, but usually not if it can be helped).Almandine wrote:That seems to be the trend that I've seen.

Might be a combination depending on how/if they incorporate sounds into it.windu34 wrote:Not quite sure what would make you think stations is improbably for an ID event.

Re: Herpetology B/C
I would be surprised if they didn't include sound into the test. I didn't expect it from regionals or state but I don't think that they would have just added it into the rules without having any tests on it.ScottMaurer19 wrote:Might be a combination depending on how/if they incorporate sounds into it.windu34 wrote:Not quite sure what would make you think stations is improbably for an ID event.

Re: Herpetology B/C
My partner and I were pretty dissappointed with the test. We could have not studied since regionals and done just as well. The difference between 1st and 20th was probably the matter of a few points.Unome wrote:Almost universally negative I'm sure.axolotl wrote:Opinions on the nats test?

What did people think of the question that asked the distribution of newts/salamandridae? They live on both the eastern US and the NW US but the options were SW US, NW US, Central US, SE US, NE US. I thought it looked like a rough skinned newt so I went with NW
In other news I got to meet both of you right after the test so that was interesting (I said I had to run to mission but I actually had helicopters)
