Some writers far underestimate teams and the exam is really short, while some writers are a little on the excessive side and write an exam that nobody could finish in 50 minutes. For invitationals, I would expect to see this variability--writers are extremely varied--for invitationals. Generally in a regional (this is dependent too, but generally), you won't see a very long, complicated test (I can't give a definite question amount, but probably doable). For a state test... I'd assume similar to an invitational--no definite trends, heavily dependent on the writer (I have no idea what to expect for machines at state, I assume our 5-question state test was not typical).

Re: Simple Machines DivisionB
Hey!
From the rules, gears will be included for both divisions under the overreaching category of wheels. So you may be expected to know gears. I might also add that I'm not an official source (see disclaimer), but it does appear that gears may appear on an exam.
Opinions expressed on this site are not official; the only place for official rules changes and FAQs is soinc.org.
Good luck with learning!

Re: Machines B/C
Hey! Are you asking how many of these problems will be there? If so, then I'd expect like 0-10 questions on the topic. Some writers don't put many of these types of problems (especially in division b), while a lot of writers do like to write a bunch of questions on this.
