STUDY TIPS

DO read the passage at least once a day

DO have someone help you study the questions

DO get some practice ringing a bell (believe it or not it matters!)

DON’T think you can wait until the last days and then “cram”  - it won’t work!

DON’T memorize familiar questions (try to reword them when you study)

SAMPLE QUESTIONS

from Luke 14

The following sample questions are given for new quizzers to get a sense of what to expect. 

Some questions will test your understanding (#1 below), and others are simply factual (#2).  None are intended to trick (# 10 below may seem tricky at first, but after studying for a month it would not be the least bit tricky).  Most questions can be answered in your own words, but some are specific (#3).  You are always safest to stick to the exact wording of the verse, if possible.
