Additional Information Please print the results. For the best viewing on printing, we suggest scaling from 100% to 80%, and it should fit on one page. The first column in the results is your rank within your grade pool. The second column, called “Overall” is the rank your team would be if you combined the two grade levels and is just for your information. We use percentages only to break score ties since they do not consider the speed of the answer or if it was a second-time correct answer.
