Simply stated, the Student manuals were $7 (in single quantities) and had just the rules. Coaches Manuals were $10 and had additional information for coaches.

For any of the study events, taking an AP class helps A LOT!!!!!!!!!
Especially since I did Health Science and Cell Biology last year, I did amazing just by taking the class. Studying would have helped a lot more too. The tests are detailed though.

u will have to know how the muscles relate to the bones and how the bones are connected to the muscles but u dont have to know the muscles though
i think

The Health_Science Wiki has been reorganized and updated for the current 2008-2009 season. Check it out and add your favorite resources or links to the 'Competition Resources' section.

Measure the heart rate of an individual from different pulse points
Measure the blood pressure of an individual with a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff)

so i just saw this in the wiki, and i had read it in the rules and was a little confused. so we'll actually have to do this ourselves on somebody else rite??

In a competition, I've never had to actually take someone's blood pressure or pulse, but they have had free-response questions that ask you to explain or describe the steps required to take a blood pressure and what the sounds you hear represent at the vascular level. Learning how to actually do it just helps you more fully answer those kinds of questions.

I think that is overgeneralizing greatly. Depending on your level of competition, no class will be enough if you don't study extra things like crazy. First off you are assuming that you have a good teacher and the course content matches exceptionally well, and second off you are assuming that the test will be at a college freshman level, which is sometimes signifigantly lower than certain scioly tests.

Then, what levels are Div. C Science Olympiad Tests at Nationals?
