Kingdom of Fife Geography Challenge

Now that we have received most of the pre-test geography quizzes, we can get started in earnest. We won't announce the winner of the pre-test until everyone has turned in their scores. However, I can say that Adonis (William S.) has posted the overall high score of 91%. The young geographers will have their own division apart from us mature-like people.

So, here is the plan . . . there will be an overall and young geographer winner for Best Pretest. There will be an overall and young geographer winner for Most Improved After the Retakes. And there will be a winner (for those who want to continue) of the Uber-Geography Test at the end. This test will be blank maps . . . just country outlines. You will have to label each country without looking at any list or reference. And everyone who participates through all of the retakes will receive a nifty certificate suitable for framing!

Because some have requested extensions on quizzes, we will have a Retake Test every two weeks. So, if this is fine with everyone, the schedule will follow as such:

• The First Retake will be due by March 18th, and it will cover the Canadian Provinces quiz and the States of the US quiz.
• The Second Retake will be due by April 1st, and it will cover the Central American & part of Caribbean quiz and the South American quiz.
• The Third Retake will be due by April 15th, and it will cover the Europe quiz.
• The Fourth Retake will be due by April 29th, and it will cover the African quiz.
• The Fifth Retake will be due by May 13th, and it will cover the Middle East quiz.
• The Sixth Retake will be due by May 27th, and it will cover the Asia quiz.
• The Seventh Retake will be due by June 7th, and it will cover the dreaded Australia and Oceania quiz.

We will then determine when to take the Uber-Geography Test and the winners for all of the categories.
