Online Objective Tests
Online objective tests will be taken prior to the District Leadership Conference at each local high school. This allows student members who are interested in competing at the district level to enter into a competitive event but not be required to attend the actual event on the day-of if their schedule does not allow. Students competing in only objective tests are still able to attend the conference (though not required) and take advantage of the networking opportunities, educational content, and participate in workshops during the in-person conference.
Online Testing Window & Time
-
January 16-20, 2023
-
7:00AM - 7:00PM CT during testing window
All objective tests are non-qualifying events or ‘straight-to-state’ events. Any member competing in a non-qualifying objective test event, will be eligible to advance to the State Leadership Conference, if desired. Members in the top four (4) will be recognized during the District Leadership Conference’s Awards of Excellence Ceremony.
