Rules

The Rules

All students and teachers must adhere to the following rules to ensure a fair and successful competition:

1. Proctoring:
The exam must be proctored by the teacher or advisor.

2. Individual Testing:
Each student must take the exam independently—no collaboration or group work is allowed.

3. No Outside Materials:
Students are not permitted to use any external materials or aids (e.g., calculators) during the exam.

4. Teacher/Advisor Role:
Teachers or advisors may not assist students by rephrasing or explaining questions

Scoring:

  • Each correct answer earns 10 points.
  • A team's final score is the sum of the top three individual scores. If a team has four members, the lowest score will not be counted.
  • The maximum individual score is 300 points, and the maximum team score is 900 points.

 Accessing Scores:
Once testing is complete, teachers can log into their team profile to view individual and team scores.

Team Ranking and Results:

  • After the Challenge concludes, teachers of the top 8 teams will be notified via email by April 2nd, 2025. These teams will advance to the in-person New York State Finals on April 11th, 2025, with the location to be determined.
  • The winning team from the New York State Finals will be contacted by the Council for Economic Education to confirm their attendance at the National Finals in Atlanta, GA.
