Hello all, today at school some of us got given out forms for the IrJSO and the IrEUSO, we filled them out and I gather the IJSO is for the younger students and the EUSO for older, I qualify for the younger one, IrJSO.

Ok, so, what the heck?? We sent off these nomination forms and are told if we get in our names are on the website on the 27t, does everyone get in or what?? And then, is the exam general science or categorised into the three sciences? And do we do them all, or just one?? And if you could explain whats sort of standard is needed, I am in TY and so unaware of the LC Curriculm.

Any help would be appreciated!!

I'm doing it this year... EUSO

You need 6 A's in the JC to qualify
About 2 in each school do the competiton
After the qualifier I think the best 6 from each group go to Sweden or Azerbaijan depending to compete.

It's the best 4 from each group with 2 reserves. The junior one is in Azerbaijan and the IrEUSO one is in Sweden.
