AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the F=ma exam, which is recognized as the qualifying exam for the US Physics Olympiad. A US citizen living abroad inquires about the availability of the exam outside the United States, expressing concern about not meeting eligibility criteria in their current location. There is uncertainty regarding whether the exam is administered internationally, with participants suggesting contacting the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) for more information. Despite attempts to reach out via email, responses have been slow, prompting the individual to consider alternative contact methods, such as phone calls, especially given the approaching deadline for the exam.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the F=ma exam. I am a US citizen living abroad for the past few years, and I was wondering if the exam is administered outside the US. I don't really fall under the needed category in my current country.

Thanks!

What is the "F=ma exam?"
 
Sorry 'bout that. I presumed it was the name for the primary exam for the physics olympiad in the US. Correct me if I'm wrong...
 
No, you're correct, most peopel call it the F=MA exam (people who know are interested in that kind of thing at least.) I don't know if it's admin outside the US of A, but I doubt it.
 
Oh damn. Thanks though! Does anyone else know for sure? Can I address queries like this on the AAPT website?
 
Anyone, please? Deadline's approaching, so I'm rather tense.
Do international schools conduct the exam?
 
They haven't responded after 5 days...AND it's the long weekend. Is there any other contact address?
 
Still no reply...do you think I should call them up?
