Competition Written Tests
All competitions use a 25 written question test, the only competition that uses more than 25, is Rocket City Jr. Math Mania, they use 30. Most tournaments have the students answer on a scantron sheet, this makes it very easy for them to grade. However, you need to tell your students that they must erase any marks that are not their answer and to darken in their bubble as best as they can. Always use a #2 pencil!! Also, I tell my students to keep a copy of their final answers on a separate piece of paper, this way, we can check their answers after the test. Most competitions will post the answer sheet on the walls. As a teacher/sponsor, you need to check the answers on the test to make sure that the tournament sponsors have the correct answers. The students generally let you know if the answer is incorrect, this is when you need to file a dispute/complaint. Usually, you have less than 15mins after the test to do this - so be aware! Below are the grade levels you can choose from,
have fun!
