My team hasn't gone to any yet and we're looking for some preparation.

We don't have any files for the originals (all the ones we have are our own answer sheets) but some schools might put them online. There's a list of invitationals that already happened, so just google it and see if anything comes up. Also the MIT invites are online somewhere I believe.

The MIT files are online, but the people behind the MIT Invitational specifically requested for teams not to share the link or password. Since they have made this request, teams should not be offering to trade the MIT Invitational files with teams that did not compete at MIT.boomvroomshroom wrote:We don't have any files for the originals (all the ones we have are our own answer sheets) but some schools might put them online.

Never mind, then. I just got the files directly from my coach; I was told that they were online but never looked at them there.bernard wrote:The MIT files are online, but the people behind the MIT Invitational specifically requested for teams not to share the link or password.

If they were the MIT test then please tell your coach to not distribute. If you all went to MIT then use the exams within your group only. They VERY specifically asked attendees to not distribute this exam.boomvroomshroom wrote:Never mind, then.

The Yale Invitational has also requested for teams not to distribute their tests.

We actually went to the MIT invite. After competition our coach just sent the zip files to the people who actually did the event on our team. He said he got them from online, but never specified where.JonB wrote:If they were the MIT test then please tell your coach to not distribute.

The people running Science Olympiad at MIT sent out the files through a link, so that's what he means by 'finding them online.' The links is only accessible by coaches with the email so you wouldn't find it on the internet.boomvroomshroom wrote:We actually went to the MIT invite.

Sorry about that, I did not know (or infer) that you attended. Your coach can distribute freely within your school/teams.bernard wrote:The people running Science Olympiad at MIT sent out the files through a link, so that's what he means by 'finding them online.'

If it's what the MIT people requested then thanks for spreading the word.
