Posted a similar thread earlier in JC because I'm extremely stressed (out of desperation for info)
If anyone could give me some knowledge re:
QUESTIONS
Time for this years event
Making sure my form was received

Please reply if you can help. Thanks

Just search it on Google, and I'm sure you'll find your answers.

Oh.

If he had just said the Science Olympiad I'd have know what he meant, IGVCWA!!! *










* I get very confused with acronyms.

If you knew about the Olympiad, you'd understand the acronym

I did IrEUSO (the Biology one) a few years ago when I was in TY, you'd need to know much more than the OL Biology course to be honest. Got an A1 in HL and I still think there was stuff on the exam that I never came across at LC level! It basically consisted of two exams - 1 was a long experiment question and the other was a multiple choice quiz.

BUT remember that most people are in the exact same boat, either in 4th or 5th Year, so to win it you don't need to get anywhere near full marks. I can't speak to what's on the Chem or Physics papers but for Biology I remember doing a lot of "educated guessing", especially on the multiple choice.

EDIT: You can check the list of this year's participants here from next Wednesday the 22nd (everyone whose form they received will be on that list!) and there's a detailed enough schedule on that site now too.

Good luck!

Funnily enough, when you're out in the actual world of work, you lose track of these things, and hundreds of other acronyms come flying at you!

The world of school and the LC is a a very narrow one as you will find out in the years to come!

Thanks a lot for that. Very helpful and very much appreciated

No need to be snappy. I know about the Science Olympiad, but I would never have called it IrEUSO in conversation :rolleyes: Thread title changed, you might get more of a response.
