It went pretty well. They were all live specimens, but that wasn't a problem (sometimes people have complained about poor quality live specimens). The only thing was that there weren't many questions! There were 10 ID stations with 1 multiple question for each. So, there only ended up being 20 questions total! I feel like if you miss 1 ID, you are already down like, 5 places because then, you got the question that went with it incorrect! 1 wrong ID got you to an 90% :O. But I think we did pretty well considering we were thrown into this event! We went forestry try-hard for 2 weeks!

Well, our test was too large, and therefore, no one got to finish it. However, good job! For that, you all did really well. I would have probably liked that format more. How much time were you given per question?

3 minutes, which I think is a little more than average or the maximum.

good job!

Oh, yeah, it is! I wish we had that kind of time.

How was the outside event facilitated? I'm curious, because I had always tried to imagine what it would be like!

Lucky. Ours was 2.5 minutes each station (20 stations) for 2 trees each with common and scientific names and 1 question for each tree (6 total per station so 120 points total).

I messed up several trees and got 7th.

That sounds so cool! How did the proctors keep track of everybody! So for each tree, you got a dried sample, and the real tree? I've always wanted to take an outdoors Forestry test. With the real trees, did they still have a variety of different trees? How did you guys do?

Does anyone have any information about the Texas Forestry test? I know the state list there is a lot different from ours, but I'm interested nonetheless.
