Can Non-US Citizens Living Abroad Participate in the US Physics Test?

[smsampark]

I'm a high school student,
and recently I came across the US Physics Test (f= ma, semifinal, etc.)

And there isn't much information out on the web as much as about math contests like AMC/AIME, so I coudlnt' really find an answer to my question.

My questions is: Can a non-us citizen living abroad (I go to an International American School) participate in the anyone of the US Physics Tests (at least the first round)?

(I didn't know which forum to exactly post this, so I just chose to write in a general forum)

The answer to your question is yes, a non-US citizen can participate in the US Physics Tests. However, you will have to contact the organization administering the test to see whether or not they will accept international students. Each organization has their own set of rules and regulations regarding international student participation, so it is best to check with them directly. Good luck!

However, according to the American Association of Physics Teachers, the US Physics Olympiad is open to all students in the United States and its territories, as well as international students who are enrolled in a US school or have US citizenship. This means that as a non-US citizen living abroad and attending an International American School, you may be eligible to participate in the US Physics Test. However, it is best to check with your school or the US Physics Olympiad organizers for more specific eligibility requirements and information.
