Once you have registered as a teacher, you can begin to create student
teams of 3 to 4 students in either of two divisions.
David Ricardo Division: any one-semester, introductory or
general, combined macro and micro economics course, or social studies
survey.
Adam Smith Division: students
enrolled in any two-semester econ macro and micro course sequence or
any course labeled as AP, IB, honors, or differentiated. If they
previously participated in the David Ricardo Division, they must
register for Adam Smith in this year's competition.

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 EconChallenge ONLINE will be offered in Kentucky from March 20
through April 3, 2013. Once competition begins, students can enter the
EconChallenge ONLINE website and complete a 30 question rapid fire
exam consisting of macro, micro, and international questions. Each
student will be given 35 minutes but all team members must complete
the exam within 3 hours. Students must answer the Challenge questions
independently. The Challenge can be taken by all team members at the
same time if computers are available, or a team can use one computer
with team members taking the Challenge in sequence. Teachers must
proctor all team participation in the Challenge
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
-5 points for each incorrect answer
0 points for each unanswered question
The winners of the EconChallenge ONLINE will receive notification once
the competition has ended.
AWARDS!! The 1st
place Adam Smith team and the 1st place David Ricardo teams
(3-4 person teams) at the state level will receive $100 for the team
and Award plaques for each
member of the team. Also the highest scoring Adam Smith and
David Ricardo team will be invited to
compete in the Regional EconChallenge ONLINE. First
