Congrats! Awesome job! How was the test?

Very similar to the regional and invitational. It was easy, so I thought that we would have done worse, with a tedious population thing we had to graph.
They also asked about the acronym NIMBY, which I knew because my history teacher last year got very off-topic all the time.

NIMBY. . .as in, "Not in my backyard"?

For people in PA, what did you think of the test? I found it easy, but I must of gotten something wrong because we didn't place...

[junexia]

same!!!!! i thought it was pretty easy too, although my partner did most of the work. i dont know what we got wrong though, because my partner knows basically everything there is to know about ecology. and i studied a lot too.

Yes, exactly as in Not in my backyard.

what does "not in my backyard" have to do with anything?

According to Wikipedia...

The term (or the derivative Nimbyism) is used pejoratively to describe opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development close to them.

I suppose that this could have something to do with ecology.

It was about alternative energy- constructing windmills, to be exact.
