**What is a FAMAT competition?**


 * FAMAT (Florida Association of Mu Alpha Thetas) is a state organization that organizes several competitions for students in Florida schools. At each competition, each student takes a 30-question, 1 hour exam with a maximum score of 120 points. There is a penalty for guessing (minus 1 point for each incorrect answer). The top 4 students in each division participate in a team round where every question earns 4-16 points depending on the minute the question is answered in. A question answered in the first minute receives a score of 16 points, 2nd minutes 12 points, etc. The overall team score is the sum of the score on the team round plus each students' individual score. Trophies are awarded in each division to the top 15-20 students, depending on attendance and the top 3-5 teams. In addition, the top 5 schools overall are also awarded trophies. Last year, RE placed 5th at the Ferguson FAMAT competition out of over 40 schools!**
