Disease Detectives B/C

We've been making a giant list on the note sheet that includes the agent, mode of transmission, symptoms, and treatment.

But don't take my word for it, dvd; you're the ones who won!

Thanks ichaelm! Also, for people who have taken past National CDC tests, do they usually incorporate the history of epidemiology? And important people too?

What kind of stuff was on it? Anything completely out of the ordinary?

It didn't seem too difficult (for us anyway, we got 6th), but the last section was odd, as it was about RTIs (Road Traffic Injuries) rather than diseases. While it still applies, it was nicely different. Overall, the test was very well done, and congratulations to all the teams that medaled.

Yeah, congrats on your medal too. I thought it was nice that the test was pretty long, since it meant that both partners were tested pretty much equally on their knowledge.

The test was great! Eta and I (in B division) split it up, and we managed to finish with 15 seconds left! I am so happy with my 6th place medal, and Strath Haven beat us again!! Great job guys!

What did you guys think of the test?

My partner and I split up the test and finished with 15 minutes left. We had time to check half of the test (Division B) and we impressed ourselves with a seventh place (so close to a medal!)
