The circuit lab test at New Jersey States this year was really good. The ES was nice, and answered many questions. He also removed 3 questions that were division C level. Also, the lab section was very good, and was at a perfect difficulty level. The test was a little on the easy side, but there were some challenging topics. Most of the topics and concepts were addressed in the test. The test was easily the best circuit lab test I have ever taken. Thanks to the ES!

The Anatomy test was pretty reasonable in my opinion. First time I took the test in a stations format. Just right in terms of difficulty and length.

Forensics was very reasonable as well. I was surprised how there wasn't many lab tests required: just chromatography, blood, and powders. I am used to having to perform some sort of burn test for fibers. Overall, it was a well written test and I enjoyed it.

Designer Genes was a bit odd. Questions were either too easy, weirdly worded, or both. I recall a few not having a possible answer. It wasn't long, but it was weird. I wanted to split up the test to speed things up, but we weren't allowed to for some reason.

Overall, States was a good experience for me. Designer was weird... but there's always that one weird test XD.

As a grad who still likes to be nosy once in a while, are we all still waiting for the full results, the state website seems not to have been updated yet? I thought they only took a while to release results in 2017 because they were controversial but I guess...?

Maybe Div. C was extremely close? They're probably checking results though

This is probably what happened. South probably won by just ~5 points. Still kind of annoying tho ngl

Oof results for WWPN; usually they're amazing at Chemistry events via USNCO but with the only pure Chemistry event of the season it didn't work

*Interesting note: If Montgomery placed on all non-placing events and with a tiny bit of variation, this would have been a very close 3 way tie (104 assuming 6th for non-placing and with 21 non-1st place finishes, could have easily been 83 while noting WWPN/WWPS scores would have been raised)

Great job to all the teams, especially for Princeton HS on coming back to the top 4! Good luck to WWPS and Community at nationals - make us proud

Looking at the (extremely) close results it looks like there wasn't much difference between North and South. What does this say about national predictions?
