Biology olympiad

Has anyone entered to do the Biology Olympiad? Came across it quite recently so I think I was a bit late but e-mailed for details and past papers anyway. Theres been no reply yet but thought I'd give it a go. Is anyone else planning on doing/doing the Olympiad in biology ? let me know :smile:

When is it?

I'm not exactly sure... If you follow this link there seems to be some info --> British Biology Olympiad

It says the deadline has been past but you can request the entry forms anyway, so I've given it a go :smile:

I did the first round in 30th Jan, it was very very very very very difficult, more than half of questions I didn't touch, because those staff was not in the syllabus. Even some questions was in the syllabus, it still requires some careful thought. Luckily, most questions are multiple choices, so I can still guess a bit. But I don't think I can get a E in this test. It is a competition to select 4 students to represent the Britain to compete in international biology olympiad. Britain is very good at biology, last year they got 2 gold and 2 silver.

i know a few people who did this, out of everyone who did the biology olympiad the top 50 get gold and a few are selected to go ahead to the next round. my friend got gold but wasn't selected for the next round, she said it was really difficult! however i think its quite impressive to have on your cv!
