WYSE Guys 2005
"The Academic Challenge is a competitive series of tests created and
adminstered by Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering and offered to high school
students in Illinois and Missouri. The tests are now offered by more than 50 community
colleges and universities and are designed to present a challenge to the brightest
students.
Test material is drawn from senior high school and freshman level college curricula.
Written by teams of college and university faculty, subjects include biology, chemistry,
computer science, engineering graphics, English, mathematics, and physics. Each test
production team produces three tests of increasing levels of difficulty, regional,
sectional and state finals. Students compete as individuals and as part of a team (when
their school fields a team); they have 40 minutes to complete multiple-choice tests that
range in length from 30 questions (computer science) to 100 questions (English)."
