About this event

Computer Problem Solving covers troubleshooting the technology people use at work: operating systems, networks, computer hardware and connectivity, security, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices, and printers and peripherals. How it runs: this is an individual objective test and nothing else. You take a proctored, online test of 100 multiple-choice questions in 50 minutes. Study materials are not allowed, and a calculator is built into the testing platform. Each correct answer is worth one point with no penalty for wrong answers, and your test score is your result.

What to expect

50 minutes, 100 questions

You have 50 minutes to answer 100 multiple-choice questions. Each correct answer is worth one point and there is no penalty for wrong answers, so always fill in your best guess.

Machine-scored

Tests are machine-scored. Questions are drawn from the official FBLA topic outline for this event, across all of its topic areas. Expect a mix of recall (definitions, formulas), application (scenario-based), and analysis questions.

Top scorers advance

Top finishers at regionals advance to states, and top finishers at states qualify for the National Leadership Conference (NLC). How many advance depends on your state's rules. Study the official FBLA topic outline, which lists the subject areas the test covers.
