! Important Notice:
In April 2025, the BMSAQ National Organiser, along with Senior Officials, decided on several changes to the structure of future BMSAQ Challenges (starting from this 2025/26 series). These changes are to ensure that BMSAQ continues to uphold its core mission and delivers a fair, trustworthy, exciting experience.
All changes are as follows:
• Challenge time shall be reduced to 30 minutes (access arrangements are still in place).
• The number of questions per Challenge shall be increased to 100. Hence, the new total mark for each paper will be 100.
• The Challenge will now include 5 sections. In order these will include ‘Our World and Lifestyle’, ‘Science and Technology’, ‘History & Politics’, ‘Culture’ and ‘General Knowledge’. Each section will consist of 20 questions.
