The fair is fed by 28 regional science fairs, each of which is allocated a number of projects based on prior history of producing winning entries. The allocation in 2009 was 908 projects, an average of 24.7 projects per million population. [1] Awards are given in several categories at both junior (grades 6–8) and senior (grades 8–12) levels.
The average student takes about 10 of these tests per year (e.g., one or two reading comprehension tests, one or two math tests, a writing test, a science test, etc.). [60] The average amount of testing takes about 2.3% of total class time (equal to about four school days per year). [61] Standardized tests are expensive to administer.
