The test materials will be sent to registered competitors by email, but all materials will publicly released eventually. Raw scores and rankings will be released.
The goal of this exam is for students across the nation to be able to compare their mastery of remote sensing with peers.

You're very welcome! Unfortunately the test won't be national difficulty because the actual purpose of this test is the Florida State Tournament, but at least you'll get a chance to compete against others at that level in a way

Is it just me or is whythelongface's test on the test exchange super hard?

It's just long, and the answer key had a few errors that I only spotted after submission, but I wanted to include as many topics as I could, since it's just a practice test. I guess I didn't emphasize climate as much as I would've liked, but I didn't know the current topic at the time anyway so...

Is it just me or has there been a shift away from specific satellite information compared to last year? It seems like the tests have gotten better overall.

Is there anything that you need to know about resonant frequencies?

There has been a continuous trend of more and more alumni getting involved in supervising SO events. Since many RemSen competitors graduated last year, many have moved on to supervise the event and I believe many if not all feel the emphasis of the event should be on application rather than copy/paste from a cheat sheet. I believe this to be the main contributor to this trend.

Im not a current competitor, but I did compete last year and have supervised this year and I can't really imagine a scenario in which that would be tested.

What is IFOV? And how do you calculate the swath area of a satellite?
