Take part as a student
The 2024 UK Bebras Challenge scores are now final. Students can log back in to see their scores. You can also download your certificate(s) directly from the links below your scores. If there are any issues with your scores or your certificates, please contact your teacher.
Aim of the challenge
Your goal is to tackle as many tasks as possible within the 45-minute time frame to earn points. While the problems are tailored to your age group, they're designed to provide a challenge. Don't fret if you can't complete them all – it's rare for any student to solve every problem. If you find yourself stuck on a particular task, feel free to move on to the next one.
Difficulty levels
Tasks are categorised into three levels of difficulty: A, B, and C. Category A problems are the least challenging, while category C problems offer the most difficulty. Your score for each task is influenced by its assigned difficulty level.
Scoring
The scoring rubric is as follows
| Difficulty | Correct | Incorrect | Unanswered |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | +6 points | 0 points | 0 points |
| B | +9 points | -2 points | 0 points |
| C | +12 points | -4 points | 0 points |
