SAGT Geography Challenge Quiz

The SAGT Geography Challenge Quiz (formerly known as the Worldwise Quiz) is open to teams from secondary schools in Scotland. Teams should consist of three pupils, one each from S1, S2 and S3.

Local Heats/Finals will be completed by Spring each year, and the winning team from each region will be expected to travel to the National Heat/Final taking place at 1:30pm on Wednesday 10th June 2026 at Dollar Academy.

Each school is permitted to enter a maximum of two teams. In an effort to promote Geography and to remove any potential cost barriers, entry is free for all who wish to take part.
