TeamSmarts, the LifeSmarts Web-based team competition, is a great practice tool for a team of students to take together. Each month from September through January, teams are asked 50 multiple-choice questions. Prizes are awarded each month to the top-scoring Junior Varsity, Varsity, 4-H, BPA, FBLA, FCCLA, and SkillsUSA teams (one prize per year, per school or individual club/organization).

Each correct question is worth one point. Teams 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 for the quiz if they take longer than 40 seconds per question.
Every student who registers has access to Practice Quizzes under their “Quizzes” tab. (located on the left side of the page). All other applicable TeamSmarts quizzes are assigned ONLY to the team’s captain under their “Quizzes” tab. The team captain should lead their team in working together to complete the quiz.
