Oh and one thing, Anika Bansal at 39th?.. Bro what she’s insane 😭 T10 😭 That's my bad. I purely based the ranking off of stats from last year's MSNCT. Totally took a "if they were good last year, they are good this year" approach. That was made at the beginning of the year. I agree, Anika...

My school has a "move up day" for all the 5th graders at our 2 elementary schools. They all come and tour the school so that they know what to expect. When I went during 5th grade, my class was walking down 6th grade hall and I saw a flyer that said "6th, 7th, and 8th graders welcome ...

100% agree. Tate was promising from the moment he started. In his first game, everyone there knew something great was in the making. I also think that players like Tate, Krish, and Kapil who started at a young age were so much better than everyone else.

For literature, I use the NAQT Frequency List. I read a plot summary of the book, and then I make notes.

Part of the reason that I chose IB over AP was depth of content. I felt like AP was a lot more math-heavy compared to the IB, which is more concept-heavy.

I'm also (somewhat) using Richard Thornley.

Here is another one of my posts, a la Studying Art History and Studying Science and Studying Science and Geography, but I digress. How would you study Chemistry?

Our high school has a class, but I have to wait a few years to take it. Do you (or anyone else for that matter) know of any online class/YouTube lectures that follow a similar curriculum?

This is another post similar to my Studying Religion and On Studying Science and Geography, but I digress.

Does anyone have any good resources for studying art history? I would extremely appreciate free resources, YouTube courses, and websites.

Hi. I was wondering if you guys know some packets I should use for studying. Currently, I am using the BLISS I set, which is about my level. I would like to know some other packets that are around that level.

quizbowlchamp1

which is what I suspect Russ was attempting to link to My link was supposed to go straight to the history section of that document. Sorry, it didn't work. this is still probably the single best answer to your question As Joel said, this doc is life-changing. If you're looking for books, go here.

Thank you for the clarification. This helps a lot.

A question for experienced quiz bowlers and NAQT members:

How does NAQT choose which teams and people get records?

quizbowlchamp1

My vote's in. I doubt it's accurate, but it's decent.

quizbowlchamp1

So, I have started listening to podcasts while studying. I have also started reading a full HS packet once a week (which is also a great way to find things I don't know).

The main reason I put him in was
a.) he works for ACF and
b.) he was instrumental in writing the 2010 ACF Fall and 2012 ACF Regionals

So I'm studying for the MSNCT. Here is my schedule for now. 15 minutes of studying missed answers 15 minutes of QBReader/Protobowl 2 NAQT You Gotta Know's (research anything I don't know) Review 3 Games of Jeopardy (research anything I don't know) 2 Qwiz5 (research anything I don't know) Any further...

quizbowlchamp1

Here's what I found. (via the QBWiki) Most tournaments follow the lead of ACF in using a "per-packet" distribution, which means that categories will occur in the same proportions in every packet across the entire set (e.g. every packet will have 4/4 literature tossups/bonuses if any one pa...

I didn't feel like there was any other good place to post this, so I'm posting it here.

My team has some difficulties practicing, so I was wondering if you guys know of any fun practice formats.

quizbowlchamp1

Not so sure how to answer your third question. However, I can answer the first two. a.) You could consider hosting an intramural or practice game and invite other members of your school. b.) To make practices more fun, try using alternate forms of playing quiz bowl. Here are a few. https://www.qbwik...

Thank you for your insightful tip. Thanks to your great knowledge, I was able to get 3rd place. Thank you so much.

I have done this so many times. It sounds stupid, but it's so helpful. My power rate went up 20% just from listening to it.

(1) for your own benefit, as practice for yourself and/or for your team This is why I am doing this. I love writing and if I can make money while doing it, then I will. Further, $5 per packet is a shockingly low rate. What rate would you consider? and that is at least to some degree child labor (I ...

Hopefully, this tournament (and other tournaments for that matter) had a lunch break. Use that time to rest. Don't read practice questions. Eat (don't starve yourself to death). Use it as a break, not as practice. Also, don't get discouraged if you are beaten by a team. This happened to us at a tour...

I have decided to make this post for two reasons. 1) I feel like this post fits best here and 2) this forum section is dying. So here is my question. Should you clock stall on bonuses at nationals? For example, if your team is up by over 100 points, should you wait all 5 seconds to answer? Likewise,...

What are some good ways for players that are already buzzing with confidence, albeit in the 10-point range, to work at getting even faster? This is a more correct way of saying what I meant.
