Is there a place i could find the qualifying exam questions from the past years for practice?
The Physics Olympiad US physics team qualifying exam is a rigorous exam designed to select the top high school students in physics in the United States. It is used to determine the members of the US team that will compete in the International Physics Olympiad.
Any high school student who is a US citizen or permanent resident can take the exam. The student must also be enrolled in high school at the time of the exam and be 20 years old or younger. Students can register through their school or as an individual.
The exam covers a variety of topics in physics including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. It also includes some challenging theoretical and experimental problems that test students' problem-solving skills.
The exam is scored on a scale of 0-100 points. Each question is worth a certain number of points, with more difficult questions being worth more points. The total score is then used to rank the students and determine the top scorers who will make up the US team.
Aside from the opportunity to be a part of the US team and compete in the International Physics Olympiad, taking the exam can also help students develop their problem-solving skills, improve their understanding of physics, and stand out in college applications. It can also open up opportunities for scholarships and internships in the field of physics.
