Was there anything that anyone encountered on their test (for Regionals or States) that kind of threw them off or wasn't on the rules? States is tomorrow... last minute cramming... and tabbing

Just know a bunch about your specific state, maybe. But you probably already knew that

do the tabs have to stick out the sides a little? cuz i put some tabs on the inside front cover for like general information about birds lolll

I think that if they don't stick out, they don't really function very well as "tabs". I'd say stick 'em out a little bit just to be safe and to prevent any arguments with proctors.



I bet if you took all of the posts about tabbing clarifications out of this thread, there would hardly be anything left......

ok i know this question has been asked countless times, but just to clarify one more time, does anyone have specific measurements of how big tabs are allowed to be? i'm freaking out about that, dont wanna get disqualified at states.

actually, i JUST got an email from the nationals event supervisor cuz i ashed he/she about this and he/she said that there are no specific measurements... i was like wtff lol but i guess just dont OD but big enough to fit info on there... im guessing (and hoping) as long as its smaller than the normal square post its it should be fine

Okay. Just got back from States. Medaled in Ornith... though not that great.

It was a PowerPoint presentation, 72 questions, 50 minutes.

It was all birds from my state which confused me because there is no State list.

We were tested on calls, videos were put on the test, match the silhouette of the bird to the bird, questions on occurances, bird anatomy, etc. There was also a question on what plants would you plant in your backyard to attract birds and how will they attract the birds? (Birds will nest there, eat there, etc.)

It was all multiple choice except for some short answer responses (common name, scientific name, etc.)

It was decently okay...

wow, 72 questions. thats more than twice as many as the test at my regionals. but since it's multiple choice, im assuming it shouldnt be that hard. were there any particular questions that were hard and you weren't sure about? and what type of questions did they ask about anatomy? external or internal?
