Study Tip: For me, Midwinter was the event in my Quizzing career where it all started to click. I began to understand WHY I was quizzing, and it served as a jumping-off point to become a better quizzer. You can do the same thing. If you have not been one of our top quizzers to date, use what you have learned now to dedicate yourself to studying for the rest of the year. There is still time to learn enough chapters to be effective, and to use the coming review weeks to brush up your skills on past chapters. You can still be a key player for our team.
