Advanced USABO Camp – Live classes

Description

The USA Biology Olympiad is the premier biology competition in the USA. The competition begins in February with the Open Exam, which is open to every high school student. This year all students are invited to the Semifinals, and the top 20 students from the Semifinals will be invited to the Finals.

This program consists of 20 weeks of intensive training to prepare students for the USABO Open and Semifinal exams.

The goal of the Biolympiads Training Program is to prepare highly motivated students to compete in the USA Biology Olympiad (USABO).
