Scioly.org Introduction
Welcome to Scioly.org!
Scioly is a website dedicated to supporting all Science Olympiad competitors in their season, whether they are researching this year's DSOs, checking out other teams, or just looking for someone to talk to. There are several things that you can do on Scioly, and here's a quick breakdown.
Wiki
The wiki is the largest archive of Science Olympiad information on the internet. The site holds decades of past results, hundreds of event pages, and a massive list of teams across the nation that also compete. Here you can find the Chemistry Lab page that will give you all the base knowledge you need for this year's tests. You can find the best strategies for taking that test here. There is an infinite amount of knowledge to look through.
Forum
The forum is where you can hang out, ask questions, and quiz yourself. The users there will help you to better understand the ins and outs of Science Olympiad, and can answer most questions you could ever have. There are several subsections that each need a little explaining.
Event Forums
These subforums are dedicated to talking about every event in Science Olympiad. Have a question about your Gravity Vehicle? Someone in there will know. They are broken up by event in three main sections, Build Events, Lab Events, and Study Events. Build Events consist of events such as Mission Possible, where you construct a device to perform a task. A Lab Event adds a test element while typically making a smaller creation, such as Machines. The Study Events are purely test-based events, such as Dynamic Planet.
Question Marathons
The Question Marathons are a style of quizzing. One user will ask a few questions, and another user will respond with their answers hidden. They check answers, and then the user who answered the problems now asks some more questions, and anyone can jump in and answer them. This creates a chain of short quizzes that can provide countless practice problems to try.
Competition Forums
This is where you can go to find out past results, talk about future tournaments, and discover new invitationals to attend. Be sure to check out the legendary Illinois 2014!
Off Topic Forums
Here you will find countless polls, games, and epic conversations. Try games like Corrupt-A-Wish or attempt to make it through Your Daily Random Comment all in one day (good luck!).
Test Exchange
The test exchange where you can find tests and keys uploaded by other Scioly users that were created at the SSSS, or from past invitationals.
Chat
The Scioly Discord is where you can go to talk with fellow Science Olympians, post memes, or just hang out. The discord is open to be joined by anybody as long as they follow site rules.
