Someone must've gotten their Water Quality folder mixed up with an Ecology test from 4 years ago. Absurd.

Re: Water Quality B/C
I would assume that question would almost definitely be for checking for googling. Unless they mixed it up as you said, I wouldn't have any clue why that would be there. (After all, this year is about coral reefs which is on a way different latitude)jimmy-bond wrote: ↑April 10th, 2021, 3:34 pmSomeone must've gotten their Water Quality folder mixed up with an Ecology test from 4 years ago.

Re: Water Quality B/C
Some completely useless trivia, since this piqued my interest and made me google it: the word tundra is not derived from a verb, but rather a noun, and despite some sources saying it is Finnish, a fair number of other sources online say it's from Russian, passed down from Kildin Sami (which might be related to Finnish, but those sources don't explicitly mention that).aakoala wrote: ↑April 10th, 2021, 4:31 pmI would assume that question would almost definitely be for checking for googling.

But yeah, shouldn't have been on a WQ test, and I'd assume it was a mix-up. Hope it doesn't affect your scores much; I doubt anyone would know that off the top of their head, and anyone who tried to google it would become very confused anyway...

Re: Water Quality B/C
Anyone know what will replace this year's Water Quality: Marine and Estuary Ecology, Coral Reef Macroflora and Fauna & Water Monitoring and Analysis?
I heard a rumour that Green Generation was scheduled...

Re: Water Quality B/C
Yup, it looks like Green Generation (see here)

Re: Water Quality B/C
Hey, any tips on how to get better at this event. Honestly, I'm pretty bad at this event and I really want to get better just in case I have to do it again. So does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Water Quality B/C
I would say to practice as much as you can. Take every practice test you can get your hands on, and make sure you really understand every question you get wrong. When I was just starting out with water quality, I just skipped over the questions I missed, because I thought I had the right answer and that's all that mattered. But for every question you get wrong, google possible answers and go in depth as much as possible.
There's also great handouts for WQ on soinc.org, so use those to your advantage! Look through the handouts, and then google those topics even more.
As for the organisms, its all just practice again. If you can make flashcards (physical or digital), that helped me a lot. Have your partner quiz you or vice versa.
You got this!

Re: Water Quality B/C
Because the current event rotation predicts water quality to come back in the 2025-26 season, you might want to hold off on studying for it. Green generation is rotating in for the 2021-2022 season.
The handouts at https://www.soinc.org/water-quality-c are really helpful as a starting point, but others can give better info.
