Two new Autumn USABO Training Camps starts soon
Biology Olympiads Study group
Hello from Biolympiads!
We hope everyone is well! are starting two new camps which will help students prepare for the USA Biology Olympiad and other biology olympiads in 2023. The camps are via Zoom.
Last years we have 3 of our students qualified for the Top 20 camp!
USABO PREPARATION CAMPS
INTRODUCTORY USABO PREPARATION CAMP
The current program consists of 18 weeks of intensive introductory training to prepare students for the USABO exams. It will cover the most important topics which come up in the USABO exams. The key course textbook is Campbell Biology (any edition from 9th) which can be purchased on Amazon here https://amzn.to/2HKomu7. Every week, students will cover 2-4 chapters from Campbell. Each class is accompanied by homework. Also students will receive handouts which can be printed out before the class.
COURSE FEATUES
- Designed for 8th, 9th and 10th graders with little biology knowledge
- 18 weeks
- 2 hrs on Saturdays and 2 hrs on Sundays (4 hrs per week)
- 12pm EST to 2pm EST
- Starts in September, 2022
- Course cost: $1400
Each module will be taught by a different tutor so you will meet lots of amazing tutors and scientists. ;-)
We recommend spending 2-3 hrs on homework and pre-reading the chapters before each class. By the end of the course, you should have read Campbell at least 2-3 times. After that you can join our Advanced camp.
COURSE MATERIALS
All camp participants will be able to access study resources on Schoology. This includes:
- Lecture recordings
- Handouts for each chapter
- Lecture presentations
- Weekly worksheets
All classes will be recorded and uploaded on Schoology. We recommend spending 2-3 hrs on homework and pre-reading the chapters before each class.

Course start day: TBC but in September 2022
Over the course of 20 weeks, the training camp will cover the most important advanced topics which come up in the USABO exams. The breakdown of topics is:
* Human physiology and Anatomy: 30%
* Cell Biology & Biochemistry: 30%
* Genetics: 15%
* Plant anatomy and physiology: 15%
* Ecology & Ethology: 10%
Note that the advanced camp is very rigorous and you should have already studied Campbell Biology. The main textbooks of the course include:

All our camps run between 12pm EST to 4pm EST in that window. From our experience we know that students are the most focused in the morning and early afternoon and this is when they can learn fast. Thus we don't have evening classes. If the timings are not convenient, we also offer our students to join our camps OFFLINE at their convenient time. In our shop https://biolympiads.com/shop/ look for "CLASS RECORDINGS" and you can access all our camps' recorded sessions.
