Score Calculation:
You will have 15 minutes to give the correct answer to as many questions as you manage to (up to 18). The questions are multiple-choice with one or several correct answers. The online test contains questions with three levels of difficulty: Low, Medium and High with an associated score of 1, 2 or 3 points if answered correctly. The total score will be the cumulative score of the correct answers. A wrong answer always gives the same result (-1). When you pass on a question, you don’t win or lose points. The repartition of the difficulty level is the same for every participant. Participants can answer to a maximum of 18 questions in 15 minutes. Timing plays a role when participants have the same score.
The details of your score will be revealed privately to you at the end of the challenge.
The Name and First name of the best 25 participants will be published. The remaining participants will have the opportunity to access their ranking and score in their private leaderboard directly. They will not know the ranking and scores of the other participants.
