  2. Sry that I didn't repy you up till now, I didn't open my blog often. Well I hope you have a good performance in this year's final. Well, every year the system changes and this year i'm not sure how will it end out in. I hope you can tell me. As for our year, the Question like the MCQ, it is like the state level and it was carried out individually, meaning you answer using the remote individually. And the Buzzer Quiz for that year was that there are question test on your listening and recognise what produced the sound. There was a question on the latest movie film like what is the film name : The Rise of the Planet Ape.
