Quiz Details
The quizzes will consist of 15 - 25 questions based on information from the National Restaurant Association's Conserve web site, http://conserve.restaurant.org.

Scoring
For all CKSF Scholarship programs 500 points are awarded for each correct answer and one (1) point is deducted for each second taken to complete each question. Results are available immediately to each participant and the overall ranking is available within three (3) hours under the "Current Scholarship Ranking" at www.cksf.org
