One entry set includes participation for 10 students in the BMSAQ Challenge you order. This allows 10 unique students to have the fun expierence of taking part in a BMSAQ Challenge and test their knowledge against peers. All students recieve a certificate of participation, along with any other award they may acheive.
BMSAQ will award candidates who normally receive additional time for any formal UK/ Ireland recognised exam to receive an additional 25% extra time in all papers because of their impairment which substantially impacts upon a student's reading, writing and processing skills. The member of staff organising the BMSAQ Challenge within a school must lead on awarding the access arrangement. More information regarding access arrangements can be found on our 'Teacher's Information' webpage.
All BMSAQ Challenges have a possible 100 marks which students can achieve. Each question is worth one mark. There are NO marks deducted for a wrong answer.
Awards are given out on a percentage basis and the minimum raw marks for each award change each year to reflect any changes in difficulty. The top-scoring 49% of students are awarded each year. Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze are awarded to students scoring in the top 10th, 20th, 35th and 49th percentile respectively. Students that are best in school, county and nation (overall highest) will also be awarded specially. All students will receive a Certificate of Participation.
