What this opportunity is really like
Here’s the short version before you leave Pathfind to investigate the official details.
What you would do
You sit a 40-question, 45-minute multiple-choice physics exam at your school in spring, in either the first-year or second-year division, scored individually and by team.
Why it might be worth your time
The two divisions mean you aren't competing against students with an extra year of physics, and it's a short exam taken at school. Entry goes through a teacher.
Is it a good fit?
For grades 9–12 in physics and math, entering through a teacher.
