How to Score High in Logos Quiz
About 5 lakhs people registered for the Logos Quiz in 2012 and the participation and excitement are
increasing every year. Here are some tips to score high in the quiz, even with an average memory.
Preparing for the Quiz
1. Start preparing for the quiz about 2 months prior to the quiz date, so that you will get
sufficient time to read and review the portions (syllabus) at least 4 times. The quiz schedule
and the due date for registering are given in the KCBC site.
2. Read the Bible portions and the guide given by KCBC. Go through the sample questions in
the guide. Try to answer at least one quiz book for the year (these quiz books are published
by a few parishes; some are available online. Ex.)
3. Highlight key points and prepare notes while studying. Look for potential questions in each
sentence/paragraph. Spend the last one or two days only for revision going thru highlights
and notes (better not to use these days for studying anything fresh).
4. Know about the structure of the Logos quiz pattern. About 60% of questions are direct and
simple; then you have questions of varying complexity. Different types require different
approaches; sample questions of different category and the approach to score complex
questions are given in the next page.
5. If you are new to Logos Quiz, go through the previous year question paper, to familiarize
with the structure of the quiz and other instructions.
6. Prepare study notes for attacking complex questions such as reference numbers, cross
references, quotes, people and their characteristics, and locations (details later).
Taking the Quiz
7. It is a good idea to mark answers first on the question paper and transfer it to the answer
sheet in batch mode. This will give a chance for you to change your choice until it is
transferred to the answer sheet. Time allotted for answering is about 90 minutes, but it is
observed that most people complete it in 75 minutes.
More Tips
8. Make it a practice to read Bible verses every day, early morning and at bed time. Prior to the
quiz, read from the portions for the quiz.
9. Encourage all your family members to participate in the quiz; studying together, sharing,
questioning, discussing, monitoring each other’s progress are all great fun!
10. Participate in the Logos Quiz every year; regular participants seem to perfect the art of
scoring high. As you know, any skill improves as you use more; participating in quizzes
sharpens your memory.
11. Try to listen to the popular Bible quizzes such as one conducted in Shalom TV.

Try to use the process of elimination here. If you know an answer is unlikely, eliminate it; choose one
from the rest.
What to do when you don’t know the answer at all? Just relax and pray to Holy Spirit to guide you to
choose the right answer and choose one according to the inner voice. (Once you get the correct
answers from the KCBC website, find out what % of your random picks came correctly – you will be
surprised!)
