How do I begin?
Each game has 15 questions (3 categories of 5 questions). A game is named by its 3 categories and the date of release (e.g., 07/2007: Allergy, Ethics, Pregnancy). Click the name to begin.
We'll be adding a new quiz each month, so return often and test yourself in 3 new categories.
How do I play the game?
The game will open with 3 columns. Each column has the category name abbreviation at the top, with 5 numbers ranging from 10 to 50 beneath it. Clicking on a number will take you to a question relating to that category. The numbers correspond to the question's point value. Higher valued questions are typically more difficult than lower numbered questions. Once you reach the question page, read the question and decide on an answer, then click the "show answer" button to display the correct answer. If your answer matches, click "I was correct." If your answer differs, click "I was incorrect." Clicking correct or incorrect will return you to the main menu.
