About this event
Introduction to Parliamentary Procedure (grades 9 and 10 only) covers the foundations and terminology of parliamentary procedure, meeting structure and order of business, handling a main motion, classifying motions, and voting and elections. 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.
