Where should I start, and how do I go about this? I'm not well versed in chemistry at all but I am goign to try to get all my foundations together and try to push into the advanced topics or whatnot I've heard to be on there, equillibrium and something I believe? I'm doing astronomy, chem lab, and wright stuff. I have never done science olympiad in my life and am in Div C. Any advice welcome.
Hey everyone! I’m doing Division B R&M for the 2026–2027 season and could really use some advice!
I was moved to Rocks & Minerals last week after spending the entire summer preparing for Food Science, so I’m basically starting R&M from scratch 😅
I have about 4 weeks to prepare for tryouts for A/B/C team placement, so I’m trying to figure out how to make the most of the time I have.
A few questions:
Any specific study guides, websites, videos, or practice tests you’d recommend?
Is having a physical specimen/sample set a big advantage for R&M? If so, are there any particular sets you recommend?
Would visiting a geology/natural history museum be helpful, or would my limited time be better spent studying and doing practice tests?
Any other tips for someone who is completely new to R&M and trying to make the A team?
I’m willing to put in the work. I just want to make sure I’m focusing on the right things. Thanks!! 🙏

Hi. Since Bungee Drop is gone I’ll have to join another build event for 26-27 season….any recommendations?
I'm build managing Mission Possible for my school's team this upcoming year. The rules seem to change year to year, and I'm not sure how I should approach preparing over the summer and after rules come out, as to my knowledge, there are no kits for Mission Possible.
How do other people in Div C usually prepare for Mission Possible? How do you design, and on what timeline do you normally build on?
