Welcome to the World Class Arena online challenge help page
Will I be able to do the World Class Challenges over a dialup modem connection?
You would be better off with an ISDN (64Kbps) connection or faster, but you can do the World Class Challenges
over an analogue dialup modem. This will mean that you may have to wait a bit for some questions to load and for the
marking to take place.
What hardware/software will I need?
The minimum requirements for the World Class Challenges and their marking work are:
Hardware:
Software:
How do I do the challenge?
There is a choice of short tests that you can try. There are two maths tests (one for 8-11 year-olds and one for
12-14 year-olds). There are also two problem solving tests (again, one for 8-11 year-olds and one for 12-14 year-olds).
From this page click 'Back' to return to the Welcome page and then click on the test you want to try. Each test has some test-taking instructions at the beginning. These show you how to answer the questions and how to move from one question to another.
Each question is marked as you go along and you receive instant feedback on your answers. This is in the form of the solution that would be required if you had been taking the question under examination conditions.
When you get to the end, click on 'End test'.
