In summary, the speakers are discussing the F=ma exam and the possibility of participating in it. The first speaker's school does not offer the exam, but they are interested in finding alternative sites to compete. They mention the possibility of university sites and ask if anyone has tried this before. The second speaker suggests the USA Physics Olympiad as a potential option.

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.
