Dynamic Planet B/C

I placed 7th at state, out of 24... most of the questions were on river topography, hydrogeology and geomorphology.

haha i placed 7th too, but for div c.
worst test i've ever had for an event-- a lot of random vocab and lame questions

Didn't IdahoSciGuy say that he was going to post a test on the test exchange back in august or something?
It's not there...

[paleonaps]

Yes, I remember that vividly.

Can anybody tell me what the format of their state test was like?

Did it have lots of graphs and diagrams or was it multiple choice and fill in the blank.

For New York, we had 80 questions. The vast majority was MC or one-word answers. In one section, we had 4 words and needed to pick the one that didn't belong, then write the concept that relates the other three. (e.g., point bar, delta, cut bank, oxbow lake. Delta doesn't belong, concept is meander formations) A good number of the MC had diagrams, and I think there was only one true short answer.

It was easy, no advanced concepts.

this is sad because I'm pretty sure that's the same test we took... this NY Dynamic proctor needs to step her game up...

I would use similar language to describe the test at the MN state tournament. It was mostly multiple choice questions plus a few fill-in-the-blanks. Interestingly, it had no topographic maps and nothing whatsoever on drainage patterns or wetlands. The test was definitely on-topic, but it didn't cover enough material in my opinion.

Overall, most Dynamic Planet tests that I've done seem to only cover a narrow selection of the topics on the rules sheet. Hopefully, the test at Nationals will cover a wider range of material.

So does anybody have any tests to upload to the test exchange? I heard that some invitationals let people take their tests with them, but I haven't been to any.

I'll see what I can find in my stack of old tests.
