The Calculator Test is a test of 15 questions, requiring the use of calculators, to solve more difficult problems. This shows ones ability to understand the many aspects of the manipulation of their calculator. Knowledge of the functions of the various keys is necessary.
The Quickie Contest is a test of 50 questions. The students are given 30 seconds to answer each problem that is shown on a screen.
There is a mixed school part of the contest where the students work in teams with others from all of the participating schools. This encourages camaraderie amongst the schools
