Scholastic Challenge 2012 - Year End Update

Contest Deadline

The system has been set up to accept and present scores until the end of May. If you missed our deadline and still wish to have your students complete the contest, please let us know when you do, so we can email your student scores to you.

Questions and Answers

Each participating school was emailed a copy of the contest questions with answers for follow-up activities, during the last week of March .

Please note: Sixth grade contest question # 100 is incorrect. Many students had already completed the contest before we discovered the error. As a result, in fairness to all students, our programmers have eliminated # 100 from processed scores, making the student total out of 99, not 100.

Eighth grade Q & A question # 90 should have selection (c) bolded, not selection (b). Only the email is affected.

Results and Awards

All results and awards packages were in the mail by April 16. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

Thank you for your support and participation in helping to make Scholastic Challenge 2012 a success.

Have a great summer!

Convener

The American Scholastic Achievement League extends to you an invitation to enter your students in Scholastic Challenge 2012 taking place online in February, 2012. For the past eleven years, thousands of eighth grade students have been provided with an entertaining and challenging enrichment activity that allows them to demonstrate a variety of problem solving skills and knowledge in many academic areas. Last year, we introduced a second division that is designed to academically challenge students in the sixth grade.

Your students will enjoy competing in our online contest with other students in American schools. They will be able to compete as individuals and also as members of your school's team in a unique, interesting and educational program.

Trophies, plaques, medals and certificates will be awarded for achievement in individual and school team categories in both the 6th grade and 8th grade divisions.

To register your sixth grade or eighth grade students, or both, please select the grade appropriate Teacher Registration link from our navigation on the left, and complete and submit by January 15, 2012.

It is our hope that Scholastic Challenge 2012 is used as a strong motivational tool that will stimulate your 6th and 8th grade students' love for learning, and provide them with the joy and satisfaction of meeting new challenges. We look forward to your participation.
