This year total 7766 students registered to the USABO contest in the U.S. 6194 took the test. The highest score is 43.75 (out of 50), and the mean is 21.18. There were a total 624 semifinalists and 184 were from California. The cutoff is 28.5. Students from SpringLight Education Institute have had great achievements. Half of them qualified for the semi-final exam and one of them qualified for the finals. One of our students has made the USABO Team, comprised of the top 20 students of the nation.
The USABO questions require the same knowledge as AP biology.
Many of our students have also received top scores of 5 on the AP biology exam and 800 on the SAT II Biology test.
The next USABO Open exam will be from Feb. 3rd to Feb. 13th, 2015

This 12 intensive day USABO boot camp will teach the student the most effective ways to succeed in the Biology Olympiad Exam. Each day they will take real USABO tests. Each answer will be thoroughly explained as to why it’s correct, why it isn’t correct, and what question would be asked to make the correct answers correct. We will also go in depth to topics that are commonly missed, and those that demand a detailed understanding of the topic. It’s for the students who have finished AP biology.
After the 12 days of AP biology boot camp, the students can take our USABO open exam preparation class in January, then challenge the USABO open exam in February. This class is for the students who have finished biology or are taking a biology class at school.
We can arrange a special sechdule for students who are currently ready to prepare for the semifinal exam.
