TeamSmarts scoring has been updated and each correct question is worth one point. The clock allows teams to pace themselves when quizzing. Teams will earn full credit when completing the quiz in the time allowed (40 seconds are allowed per question, and time is computed on the overall quiz). Teams will gain partial credit if they take longer than 40 seconds per question.
Every student who registers has access to the Practice quizzes under their “Competitions” tab. All other applicable TeamSmarts quizzes are assigned to the team’s captain.
