Re: Reach For The Stars
Nope. And it was only 65 questions, way shorter than last year. they asked about Wolf 359 and flare stars too i think. But no T Tauri or Y Orionis stars ...

Me and my partner were surprised enough to get 2nd, when they announced Meteo as the Silver Anniversary Scholarship Event, that was even MORE surprising

Re: Reach For The Stars
I thought this test was surprisingly easy for a National test (Although I still got 23rd 
...)
Did anyone else feel that way?

Re: Reach For The Stars
Yes I thought the test was extremely easy. I actually have a feeling I know what I got wrong. I got 4th (Helix_Nebula_Freak wrote:I thought this test was surprisingly easy for a National test (Although I still got 23rd

) and I bet that the 6 medal places were separated by about 10 points.2007-2012. Paul J Gelinas Jr High and Ward Melville High School

Re: Reach For The Stars
O my gosh. Congratulations on 4th! 
I love stars, no matter what place I get, but placing at Nationals is HUGE (as I'm sure you know...)
