Studying questions may show potential topics for further learning but youth should not be encouraged to memorize questions. The contests should be a way for youth to demonstrate concepts that they have learned through club meetings. Resources for use in getting ready for quiz bowl or hippology are below.  Questions in the links may or may not appear in any contest.

The link below has information on quiz bowl, judging and hippology.
