JV quiz questions?

Post by quiz4life »

Hi All,
Who out there are selling quality, pyramid style questions for JV (Grade 9 & 10) questions?

I am still out here pushing real quiz. It is a tough battle but I shall not give up the fight! This weekend we have to use KMO questions in a tournament. God help us.

NAQT IS-A sets might be a good bet, or really just regular NAQT IS sets.

You can change your time zone in the "Global settings" under "Board preferences" in your User Control Panel.

Here's a really good website for Junior Varsity Questions:

Hey: While those questions were not as bad as I thought they would be before examining them, you still have mentioned this site in 100% of your posts so far. You wouldn't happen to be the owner of said site, would you?

Answer: Your Aunt
Also I spotted at least two factual inaccuracies in about 3 minutes of looking, most notably that Roger Sherman did not found a state he wasn't from one hundred years before he was born. I know these are for middle school but asking a bunch of vocab questions seems pretty borderline to me (also some of this stuff just seems plain difficult to me, like asking about SALT I and "infinitival").

I am curious, where are these questions coming from? I know AI wrote one or two Arkansas sets.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of these might be questions previously used in ARQBA championships in years past. I know they were looking for bids for both junior high and senior high questions/writers the two years that AI wrote for Arkansas. But we definitely didn't write any junior high questions--that's definitely a canon I don't have a grasp on.
