• Complete teacher registration.

 

• Once you have registered as a teacher, you can begin to create student teams of 3 to 4 students in the following divisions:

Middle School:  One Division

High School: Two Divisions

Adam Smith: students enrolled in any two semester econ macro and micro course sequence or any course labeled as AP, IB, honors, or differentiated. If you previously participated in the David Ricardo Division, you must register for Adam Smith in this year's competition.

David Ricardo: any one semester, introductory or general, combined macro and micro economics course. Teams are encouraged to compete in the division that would challenge them the most.

 

• After creating the teams you will be given unique access codes for each student. Distribute these access codes to your students when they are ready to take the Challenge.

 

• The Alabama Economics Challenge Online testing window is February 12 - March 14.   Once the competition begins, students can enter the Economics Challenge online website and complete a 30 question rapid fire exam consisting of macro, micro, and international questions. Each student will be given 35 minutes.

 

• Scoring: the sum of the top three individual scores on each team make up the team score. Scoring on individual tests are as follows:
  • +10 points for each correct answer
  •  0 points for each incorrect answer
  •  0 points for each unanswered question
