From what I have seen, most questions will be about factual information, but I have heard about questions that require calculations (and seen one or two of those questions).
The event should be more calculations and Laws, but the bulk of the questions will involve the physical characteristics of the planets. It wont be numbers like mass and distance (those should go on your sheet) but it will probably have geology, formation, atmosphere and things that are unique to the planets. The bulk of the calculations will probably be eccentricity and Kepler's laws, especially the third. Escape velocity, conservation of angular momentum, and gravity will be the only others, and rare at best.

My state is on Saturday, and I'm wondering whether anyone can give me pointers on what to cram into my brain?
