Academic Decathlon Scores

I received my Academic Decathlon scores today. Here's how I did:

Area Score
Essay 760
Language and literature 560
Speech 870
Interview 746.6
Art 480
Music 480
Social Sciences 360
Economics 480
Math 720
SuperQuiz Test 330
SuperQuiz Relay 80
SuperQuiz Total 410
Total Score 5866.6

Overall, I came in 5th for the Honors students on my team. I was the top scorer in math (hooray!). I think I would have done better on my essay if one judge was able to read it. She wrote "spelling!" even though *every single word* was spelled correctly.

Great job Mr. Math Wiz! (Or is it spelled "whiz"?) Hmm...

Maybe you should post a handwriting sample on the site and have a poll to see if it is legible. Or better yet, make it a font! Nerditia ITC...

Well at http://michael.detachedsolutions.com/notes.gif I uploaded a sample last year. That's my worst handwriting though, so it is usually much better than that.

Mine is worse, but in other ways. I don't seperate my words, and my y looks like s or numeral five.

my GOD that handwriting is horrible. You still write in cursive? I dropped it years ago, in...oh, sixth grade, when it was no longer required. Anyway, my writing for notes is about the same. Race across the page, makes it pretty messy. Of course, it also makes a fairly effective form of encryption, since no one else on the planet can read it :-D 0_o

I agree completely, especially about that cursive part.

What parameters were set for the essay part? Could your topic be about anything? How was it graded?

We were given 3 topics to choose from, all relating to subjects that we studied. The total time available was 50 minutes to read the topics, select one, and write the essay. I don't have the grading rubric with me to check the categories, but I'm pretty sure it's the usual stuff.

It sounds like a DBQ for history class except you have a broader range of topics to choose from.
