This not a definative list

|
This is an example as to the number of questions
I would put versus each subject
|
||||||||||
|
I would see that 'Geography' as a subject can have
8 questions
|
||||||||||
|
But if you only wanted to put 4 in then there would
be a split of 2 x 2 eg 2 UK,2 Europe
|
||||||||||
|
And if you did want 8 - it would be split into 4
x 2 - with example given.
|
||||||||||
|
It gives the base for putting together a balanced
general knowledge quiz

The subjects given are against the 'correct' number

| N.B. | ||||||||
| Group all questions into 8's | ||||||||
| Assign each group an A and B from 1 - 4 | ||||||||
| Put one group of 8 into grid at each time | ||||||||
| Build up through all 8 groups | ||||||||
| Each round should then have only one category question and each individual should only have one question per subject | ||||||||
| Watch Outs | ||||||||
| Dates should be well known | ||||||||
| Underlining should be there to help the questionmaster to get the right answer | ||||||||
| This should be to gain clarity | ||||||||
| There should be more than 4 possible answers! i.e. Don't ask questions such as which of the Bronte Sisters .......? | ||||||||
