MiniQuizzes and Section Tests
Our most popular product--at 1/3 the price of our competitors' similar offering and 10x the quality! Our MiniQuizzes are pretty much what they sound like--short, 10-question quizzes that cover a few pages of the Resource Guides at a time. Instead of focusing on small, unimportant details, these quizzes feature questions that cover important details, highlight pieces of the big picture, and train students for what the official tests will look like on their initial readthroughs of the material.
This product contains over 3000 questions across all 6 non-math objective and is only $100!
Xathlon MiniQuizzes will be released in August 2020.
New this year, Xathlon MiniQuizzes will also be available as Xathlon Section Tests, taking the MiniQuizzes and repurposing them into Section Tests to maximize usability within a classroom setting.
Competition Test Sets
These 5 test sets are meant to simulate official competition tests as closely as possible. Each test features a mix of question types and difficulty characteristic of the official rounds. Xathlon Competition Tests are the perfect way to learn what to study and what to expect when it’s time for competition.
These tests cover all 7 objective subjects, providing optional Art PowerPoints, Music Listening Selections, and all other features you will encounter at competition.
Xathlon Round 1 and Xathlon Round 2 tests will be released October 2020, and Xathlon Round 3 and Xathlon All Star Test Sets will be released January 2021. There will also be a NEW Xathlon Tryout Test Set, which will be released August 2020.
Each Competition Test is meant to closely simulate the official round test of a similar name (i.e. Xathlon Round 1 simulates the official Round 1 tests), with the Tryout Test Set most closely resembling the Practice Test Booklet in terms of difficulty level, and the All Star Competition Tests being closest to Round 4.
Benchmark Tests
These 3 test sets are meant to serve as benchmarks for the 7 objective subjects at various points throughout the year, measuring the relative performance of teams and individuals under similar conditions. The Benchmark Tests help to identify areas of improvement and to predict relative performance in the official competition rounds, while also exposing students to a wide array of question types.
While all of our tests are meant to simulate and prepare students for the official rounds, the Benchmark Tests reflect a true increase in difficulty to test understanding of the material while focusing on the unique characteristics of each of the objective events. The Easy Benchmark Tests focus on high level ideas and concepts without being overly basic, the Hard Benchmark Tests focus on synthesis and higher order thinking without relying on minutiae and random details to artificially increase difficulty, and the Medium Benchmark Tests are somewhere in between.
The tests come in 3 difficult levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Once the tests are released, you can take them whenever you want. When you submit scores, a timestamp will be recorded next to the scores for purposes of comparison.
Xathlon Easy Benchmark, Medium Benchmark, and Hard Benchmark Tests will be released in Fall 2020.
