The first ten students with the highest average scores on the online tests will participate in the final live round, to be held at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre on September 28 at 13:00hrs.

Participants must be in Grade 9 or 10 and must complete the online competition without assistance from others.

BrainCentral is a convenient, online educational portal for students from Grades 1 to 11. The long term idea is to give students the opportunity to access teaching materials, whether it be quizzes, revision notes or even online tutors to help them with their studies.

At the moment, the portal is offering thousands of quizzes at the various grades which students can use as practice.
