I have a textbook on bird anatomy, which was our saving grace.

Re: Ornithology B/C
This makes me sad I didn't get to nats, because those things were exactly what I studied. I'm sure I could have medaled.
Oh well.

Re: Ornithology B/C
The nest thing was kind of my own fault, because I trusted my guide for them. It would have been perfectly sufficient for a normal test. But for a station like that, it wasn't. Some of the questions were pretty vague, too.

Re: Ornithology B/C
We really didn't have enough practice and ran out of time everywhere. At the 6 minutes at the end, we filled in random bubbles and wrote in miscellaneous answers in the blanks. I'm just glad we didn't get last.

Re: Ornithology B/C
I studied that too. My specialty was general bird facts (I even got the Frank B. Gill textbook), but hardly any of that came up at states.amerikestrel wrote:This makes me sad I didn't get to nats, because those things were exactly what I studied. I'm sure I could have medaled.

Re: Ornithology B/C
I wish I had taken that B test last year. I might have gotten first.

Re: Ornithology B/C
I'm in Pennsylvania, of course I didn't get to nats. My team got 6th at states which was actually really good for us – but I won over half of our medals. And of course I'll never get to nats in C division because Harriton and Penncrest have a monopoly.tuftedtitmouse12 wrote:nats didn't seem hard? and well koko, you didn't really have much time...i mean, 12 days?

Re: Ornithology B/C
I think that since the test was so easy, the top ten placements were actually very close, maybe seperated by a few points. I believe there were 67 questions, and some teams may have gotten 1 or 2 questions wrong.
