The Washington State Mu Alpha Theta competition was held yesterday, March 26th. After attending it at Thomas Jefferson High School, here is a brief recap of my experience with the event.<\/p>\n

To me, the\u00a0biggest\u00a0thing that stands out about Mu Alpha Theta is the number of trophy opportunities. Mu Alpha Theta offers\u00a0many different tests, and\u00a0most of these tests award trophies to top-placing participants. For example, during lunchtime alone, there are 6 different optional tests to take. For a detailed breakdown of the different tests, refer to the\u00a0previous post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look at all the trophies!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mu Alpha Theta is a long competition, lasting roughly 8 hours depending on how early you show up for registration. Taking so many tests can become strenuous, especially since you don’t have a team to work\u00a0with. However, the variety of different tests is interesting, and there are fun team activities such as Relays and Jeopardy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a side note, Thomas Jefferson High School always holds\u00a0a fantastic bake sale during Mu Alpha Theta. It’s quite popular with the competitors.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/a>

Sweet treats during the competition.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mu Alpha Theta is definitely worth competing in for the variety of tests and the numerous trophy opportunities. Have a good nights sleep so that you can stay awake and alert all eight hours of the competition! See you next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
