Hello,
My school does not offer the F=ma exam, but I would very much like to participate. Assuming that it is not feasible for my teacher to administer the exam, are there any other possibilities for sites where I could compete? I read on the website that there are university sites - has anyone tried this before.

Thanks in advance.
