Posted Mar 14, 2018

The US History Bee is pleased to announce that the official A Set National Median Scores are 72 for Varsity and 53 for Junior Varsity. Anyone who has scored or who scores higher than these scores on the Exam qualifies for the 2018 US History Bee National Championships in their age division. Students whose scores were in the top 50% of scores at their Exam site still qualify too, even if they scored less than the National Median Scores. We have also added access to spreadsheets showing all scores by Set (click on the tabs at the bottom of the page for the other age division) on the Results page here.
Best of luck in qualifying for and preparing for the 2018 US History Bee National Championships!

  • Welcome to the US History Bee!


    The US History Bee is an individual social studies competition focusing exclusively on American history for primary and secondary school students across the USA. The US History Bee is administered by International Academic Competitions and like all IAC competitions puts an emphasis on what students are learning in the classroom, and rewards their passion for learning.

    The Varsity / JV US History Bee consists of two stages. The first is the National Qualifying Exam, which students can take either at our Regional sites in person, or online. The second is the National Championships which take place in April 2023. The Middle and Elementary School Divisions of the US History Bee are contested solely at the June 2023 IAC Middle and Elementary School National Championships. These Divisions are open to anyone in 8th grade or younger who has qualified for the National Championships of the National History Bee. For all age divisions, the US History Bee runs exclusively as a buzzer-based quiz tournament at the National Championships.

    We invite you to join us for the 2022-2023 competition year and put your US History knowledge to the test today! Contact info@iacompetitions.com if you have any questions, and good luck competing!
