Contest Rules

Once enrolled, contestants will participate in a diagnostic assessment that will build out skills for them to complete during the contest. Students have 2 weeks to demonstrate proficiency in as many IXL recommended skills as possible and qualify for prizes. Proficiency is defined as a 90 smart score or better in any one skill.

All participants must be registered and have completed an initial diagnostic exam via IXL.com before the contest start date. Skills worked on before the start date will not count towards a participant's score. Based the diagnostic, the system will provide a list of skills that the contestant should work on. Suggested skills are subject and grade specific. For the purposes of this contest, student's can earn points by completing skills ahead of their current year,  equal to their current year, or 1 year behind their current school grade level. Skills worked on that are more than 1 grade level behind the student's current grade level will be deducted from the players final score. For example, if a student is in 5th grade, they can work on 5th grade skills, 4th grade skills, and 6th grade or better skills. If a student works on 3rd a grade skill, or skills below that grade level, the points earned from completing that skills will be deducted from the final score count.
