Congratulations to everyone who competed at YUSO! The test was 275 points and 224 questions long; it was not written to be finished by any means. There were a lot of general info questions, from bird nest types and flight physics to disease and wildlife legislation (I will admit, it was a lot of niche topics). Some teams still scored extremely well on these stations, but for future tests based on feedback (thank you to those who filled that out!), I will only have a 1-3 stations on general info. I was impressed at how many teams were able to recognize the types of bluejay calls and identify owls based on the description, so look out for more question formats like these on future tests! Also thanks to those who gave me and the graders some laughs by humorously captioning the two extra credit questions (grading was 2pts if it was funny, 1pt if you wrote the scientific description).
This event was only run in the 4-5pm block, which was conveniently when Scilympiad ran into some issues (4:41, specifically) but thank you to all the competitors for acting quickly and being flexible in writing answers on google docs and emailing them to me to grade. Any points you earned from the documents were added manually to the very last question. Additionally, thank you to Harry Yang, the board and everyone running the competition for assisting me in grading the tests and finding volunteers; all the help was much appreciated. With that, feel free to contact me here or on Discord if you have any questions about my test or Ornithology in general and thank you for taking my test!
