Not going to Nationals. Preparation for next year.

Oh ok. I guess the best way to start would be to talk to a life science teacher, if your school has one. Learn how to use all the equipment, and learn all the basic concepts.

OMG they did NOT give us enough time!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!
only 4 min per station!!!!
I dropped 5 pencils, and didn't have time to pick them up!
9th still at bio-process

Great job!!! haha at states for us it was 2 minute stations!! XD So we were reasonably relaxed at nats. Still though time was a real issue. How did you do? We (BCMS from B division) got 6th place!!!

Congratulations on getting a medal! Yeah, 4 minutes felt like forever compared to states. We got 11th, and I thought we had a shot at doing better, but I think the microscopy and ecology stations were what killed us.

We didn't even have stations for ours. We had to take and all written test. Talk about boring! The funny thing is that one of the pages i had as a worksheet in science class!

Really? For Regionals or State? Regionals is basically just a practice so everything can be poorly written and messed up. If your're talking about State, then there's a problem.

I got 6th for state( since I totally messed up)

What I meant is that the Regionals test can be poorly written with a lot of errors and nobody would care since Regionals is just a practice (well, at least for the States with less Science Olympiad teams). The State competition is a deciding factor for all States so the test should be harder and written more professionally.
