I'm in the geogarphy bee at my school, and advise?

Cody

Don't trend on me...
Anyone ever competed in the School geogarphy bee, this my second time in it. In the class compeition I got all of the Questions right, anyone have advise?
 
Are there any specific areas that you have to focus on? If not, I'd study all major rivers and their locations, capital cities, major mountains etc.

For example:

The Nile is generally considered to be the longest river in the World (however, recent findings may place the Amazon at the top of the list, but don't worry about that)

Everest is the World's tallest mountain, with K2 coming in second.

Lima is the capital city of Peru.

There ya go, you're halfway there. ;)

Best of luck

David
 
The capital of Kentucky is not pronounced "Loo-iss-ville", "Loo-uh-ville", or "Loo-ee-ville". It's pronounced "Frankfort".

;)

Good luck!

Guess who finshed first in the school geo bee? Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next I'm goin to the reginols to compete... Any more advise!
 
No specific recommendation. Just stay calm and collected.

IF you find that you are totally stuck and there's no way you'll ever pull the answer out of your "fourth point of contact" (if you're Airborne, you get that), do NOT say "I don't know." Say something profoundly stupid with the straightest face you can muster, smile, and go have a seat. No one will remember "I don't know boy" but people will remember you. ;-)

For example... if you're totally stuck on the capital of some obscure place and you know you're going down in flames, confidently repeat the name of the country/state/province/whatever and add "City."
