One way to study is to use the topics and such listed in the rules and study from that.
If you are just beginning, you can watch Khan Academy, Bozeman Science, etc. to get an introduction to the event.
Good tip, thanks!

What counts as the ¨Basic Anatomy of the component parts of the skin¨ for Division B?

Anything. Literally. If it's in the skin, it's fair game.

You can just press the green "Check Question" button.
The green "Check Question" button only tells me if the my answer is right or wrong. However, if I tried hard on the question, such as a fill in the blank , and I want to know the answer, is there a button to press to access it?

I don't think so. Someone who worked on developing quizzing would know for sure. What is the question you are trying to find the answer to?

Disease is the hardest part for me. Cardio, Immune, Skin not too bad. I do like it when the test is balanced between all areas. Hope regionals are that way.

I don't see any rules that specify the weighting of the scoring of the three different systems, so it would just depend on the test writer. Some (hopefully most) will write a test with the points evenly distributed, while others may leave one or two of the systems in the dust.
I know some people who write tests that have questions that TECHNICALLY have something to do with the year's current systems but are mostly something else, since a lot of systems work together. For example, if you're doing cardiovascular, they might ask stuff specifically pertaining to the blood vessels in the small intestine. Once again, depends on the test writer. Generally the Anatomy test writers know what they're doing...some of them a little too much. They like to troll students with general knowledge.

The people who write those tests make me consider reading my entire Anatomy textbook (which I probably should do since I can't understand some sections without reading another section). It definitely helps to have an understanding of all of the systems in the body (of course some would help more than others).

Yes; for the past two years (and probably before that as well, but I wasn't there) the Regionals supervisors had a tiebreaker about relating a system on the rules to other systems.
