Students are allowed to take two exams, but cannot repeat a previously taken exam. Medals are awarded to individual students in each exam for first, second and third places in each class division.
Points also are awarded to the student’s respective high school with the top three schools in each class division receiving award plaques.
A scholarship is awarded to the school whose team places first in each class of competition – Class C and Class D.
