Welcome to the New Jersey

Economics Challenge!

The 2026 New Jersey Econ Challenge is underway!

All teachers and students interested in the NJ Economics Challenge should review the 'The Rules' and 'Dates and Times' page. 

The NJ Economics Challenge provides students a chance to showcase their Economics Knowledge. 

Quick facts:

• Their are two competition divisons: one for high school students enrolled in an AP, IB or advanced Econ class, and one for new competitors who have not taken Econ or have taken a standard level course. 
• Students compete inside a team of 3-4 students, but complete the challenge is completed by each indivdually and team member scores are combined 
• The challenge is an online quiz - you'll have 35 minutes to finish 30 questions
• There is no cost to partcipate
• A teacher must register with a teacher account, and then register student teams. Students cannot register themselves. Students will get their access code to take their quiz from their teacher. Teachers can register an unlimited number of teams from the students in their school.
• Students in one team must take the quiz at the same time. Students - find a time where you can all click "start" at the same time. A small grace period is provided, but we need to prevent students from taking the test at different times as it is meant to be taken indivdually
