How do I get my free sample questions?

To get free samples, contact us . We will e-mail samples matching your state and grade level. By requesting samples, you are “opting in” to our e-mail list that we use to advertise our products.

How does your subscription service work?

Our subscription service begins again in October 2011.  Subscribers get practice questions that conform to most state formats. for more info.

We have an “elementary” set for elementary schools, a “basic” set for middle schools and high-school JV teams, and an “advanced” set for high-school varsity teams.

Make sure to look around at our whole website.

How do I buy old questions for practice?

For old question sets, click on your school level in the column at the right.

How much will my tournament or league cost to write?

Our business is almost 100% custom question sets, so the short answer is, “it depends” –on number of rounds, complexity of format, deadline for completion, etc. You will receive an official price in writing (by e-mail), and we can put together a more detailed proposal as needed.

How do I pay for stuff?

By sending a check to our address at the bottom of the screen, by e-mailing or phoning in a PO number, or by using our website’s PayPal setup.

If you give us a PO number, we will put it on the invoice that we e-mail you with the material. Just drop the invoice off with your bookkeeper on your way home!

If you are using a credit card to buy something not listed on our site, we will first e-mail you a “request for money.” Click on the link in that request, and PayPal will assist you in entering your credit card information. (Your credit-card info is safer this way.)

What about National Science Bowl?

We offer 10 practice sets [4-5 games each] of Science Bowl-formatted questions (5 sets for middle school and 5 for high school). These can be used for either individual team practice or for pre-Regionals tournaments between schools that want to improve but have already used the practice games the Energy Department puts out each year. Click on the link at the right.

What about your honors academic competitions and educational assessment materials?

Our honors competitions are question sets that challenge the top students in an individual school or district and often combine the look and feel of standardized tests with material often found in top-level quizbowl. We offer high-school math and English material each year, plus custom sets as needed at any grade level.

Educational assessment materials can be ordered at any grade level and also combine the look and feel of standardized tests with your state/local standards and with material often found in quizbowl. We even provide short-answer and constructed-response questions upon request.
