You wouldn't need nationals stuff on the reference sheet for regionals/state if it's not going to be on the test. Save space for stuff that you're more likely to need for the test. And I'm NOT studying for Nationals, I'm figuring out what the nationals topics include so that I know NOT to study them yet (since there's a chance we might not go to Nationals)

Theoretically it won't be on the test, but we all know how it can be...

Last year, the moderators of the Regionals, Invitationals, and State asked us to identify treatments for the test.

Hey~

What are you all putting on your notesheet?

The origins, functions, and insertions of the muscles along with the diagrams take up SO much space and I only have 1 week to prepare for an invitational, so memorizing this information isn't an option...
Should I omit information about the integumentary system as it is the easiest system?

Honestly 5 pt (or even 6.5 point for less detailed) font should let you fit everything in, which is still fairly readable. Integ, if your memory is fairly good, all you need are key terms (Yes, it's much easier than the others).

If you still have a diagram of the components of skin on there, I would say take it off and memorize it since it's fairly easy to memorize and you know with a 90% certainty that it will be on the test. The only thing I generally need for integ on my note sheet is some of the disease stuff, but generally, the integ stuff is easy to memorize, so instead of taking off origins, functions, and insertions, take off integ stuff and memorize it.

I just have some simple questions due to the fact that this is my first year in scioly. Like when you are memorizing the skeletal system, do you have to memorize what the bone parts themselves are, or should I just bypass the subject?

I would memorize the bones and then the major bone parts. Major bone parts would be those parts that are involved in joints such as the elbow joint and the pectoral girdle. I could easily see a question about the olecranal process/semilunar notch or even the ischium/ilium which are all not bones but parts of them.

Has anyone been to any invitationals? If so, how was the Anatomy test?

I have attended the Ladera Vista Invitational, which had a notoriously easy multiple choice test, which I still placed 10th in . Kraemer Invitational had an actual short answer test, which featured many MRIs and X-Rays, and exposed me to the three types of UV radiation. I placed 2nd there. I just competed at the Muscatel Invitational this Saturday, and it featured a state-level anatomy test, in both length and dificulty, and had an equal balance of all the systems. I placed 1st there both this year and last year .
