2022-2023 WordMasters Challenge Meet #2 Results

The results of the second meet of the 36th annual WordMasters Challenge™ are in!  Congratulations to all the teams that placed among the Top Ten in their division, as well as the students who earned a perfect score of 20! Please see the charts below for more details, or go to the View Reports page on your dashboard and select Meet #2 from the dropdown box.

As always, please keep in mind that scores in the WordMasters Challenge™ do not reflect typical classroom results; in many divisions, less than 5% of participants score 18 or above.  Remember that everyone's goal should be individual and team improvement over time. The most critical step in the WordMasters Challenge™ process is reviewing the tests and discussing the logic behind the analogies. Don't skip this important activity!

In the BLUE DIVISION, the third grade Challenge proved to be especially difficult as only 8 students achieved a perfect score.  On the other hand, the median score for 8B teams was an impressive 160 out of a possible 200.  Practice with analogies does help, especially when some of the students on our middle school teams have been involved with the WordMasters Challenge since third grade!  Special congratulations to the team of fourth graders from Northpoint Elementary School in Granger, Indiana, who posted a perfect team score of 200 points.

In the GOLD DIVISION of the WordMasters Challenge™,  we saw similar results with respect to median team scores. Both the third grade and seventh grade Challenge tests were particularly difficult; congratulations to the 6 third graders and 4 seventh graders that posted a perfect score of 20.  We had two teams that earned a perfect team score of 200 points! Kudos to the 5G team from Daves Creek Elementary in Cumming, Georgia, and the 8G team representing Miller Middle School in San Jose, California.

Team Leaders, if you had one or more teams place among the Top Ten in its division and/or any of your students earned a perfect score, we will be sending you a DRAFT press release by March 15th. Since we email the press releases as Word documents, you may edit and distribute the press release at your discretion.  If you would like to create your own press release, click here for a downloadable template.

Be sure to examine the charts that follow the lists of Outstanding Teams, which are the best tools for assessing your own students' achievements.  As always, students scoring 18 or better should be extremely proud of their achievement.
