Approximately twelve thousand students register annually to participate in USABO's national biology exams. CEE's USABO mission concentrates on stimulating intellectual curiosity in young scholars and developing their critical thinking in laboratory skills and biological reasoning to propel them to careers of excellence and leadership in STEM. CEE provides resources for students to prepare for the exam and for exploring biological sciences.

"The USABO is a special community, and the thousands of students who take the exams share similar passions. USABO connects students across the country," said Kathy Frame, USA Biolympiad Director.

All students in grades 9 to 12 are welcome to participate in the USABO. CEE encourages teachers and schools to register and host their students, ensuring a spot for the Open Exam. AP courses are not required for success in the exams. Registration for students ends on November 8, 2024.

USABO is a four-tier series of exams that demands the absolute best of students in biology theoretical and laboratory knowledge. The four gold medalists from USABO's National Finals will represent the U.S. at the 36th International Biology Olympiad in Quezon City, Philippines in July 2025.
