What is Academic WorldQuest?

Academic WorldQuest is a challenging trivia-style competition that tests students' knowledge of global issues.
Students form teams, under the guidance of teachers, and prepare by studying materials from the World Affairs Councils of America.
At the NH competition, teams answer ten rounds of multiple-choice questions, each focused on a global topic based on the study guide provided here.
The team with the highest score wins and travels to the national Academic WorldQuest competition in Washington D.C.
There will be an online option for the national competition, if the team is unable to travel to the in-person competition.
