The students are to work independently on the questions. Each test is to be proctored and graded by the school. The top ten individual's names and their scores are to be entered on our website. The sum of these top ten scores is the school's team score. All schools can view the results on our website. Please complete the application form below and return it to us by Oct. 9, 2012.
