The campus was a nice change from the invites my school goes to since we usually go to invites held at middle and high schools. Looking forward to going there for the invite and maybe nats this year. :D

Probably because Cornell's school year runs later.

^^^Can confirm. They needed to wait until after finals/graduation.

Makes sense. I presume it's a space issue in that case and not a staffing issue then.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew how to access the previous national-level exams, for example the national exam in 2016, 2015, 2014, etc. Does anyone know how to access these national-level exams? I would like to find national exams that specifically pertain to Anatomy & Physiology.

Thanks so much.

You must pay for these on the soinc.org store. I'm not sure whether obtaining them in any other way is illegal or not, but morally, in my opinion, you should just pay for them.

Correct. We mods do not allow publishing of SO, inc. materials on this site because it could be considered an instance of copyright infringement. Links to soinc.org are OK, but no direct publishing of their materials, including rules (draft or final). Refer to www.scioly.org/rules for more information. Honestly, in your best interests, it costs much less to purchase the packets than it would to pay for potential costs of legal damages that could occur from trying to obtain them some other way.
