Happy Holidays from the US History Bee! As of the Thanksgiving weekend, nearly 200 students across America had taken the 2018-2019 C Set US History Bee National Qualifying Exam. Results are being posted to the Google Sheets which are available on the Results link off the menu bar though they are also available here – the official C Set National Median scores will be determined after all December exam sites have reported. In both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Divisions, the highest scores came from the Northern California Fall site on October 28 where Brandon Baik (Varsity) put up a 97 (missing just 1 of the 50 questions) and Shiva Oswal of Team Pi-oneers put up a perfect 100!
The 2019 US History Bee National Championships will take place on Friday, April 26 – registration will open shortly. We will post an update here when the registration link is activated. Students and teams who know they are coming though are encouraged to make hotel reservations – the reservation link for the host hotel, the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA is now available on the main National History Bee and Bowl Nationals information page. The link and the rates are valid for students coming solely for the US History Bee as well.
