Note: This video was recorded in 2024. For the Summer of 2025, please enter your children's scores before August 15, 2025.
Bible Bee Summer Study Proclaim! Day is an opportunity for participants to showcase their hard work and dedication to memorizing and understanding God’s Word. Every host does it differently, but the National Bible Bee requires a score requirement for a participant to take the National Bible Bee Qualifying Test.
Importance of Proclaim! Score Reporting
To qualify for the National Bible Bee Competition Qualifying Test (NBBC QT), students must achieve a passing score of at least 6,000 out of 12,000. Accurate reporting of Proclaim Day scores is essential for your child's progress in the National Bible Bee. It ensures their efforts are recognized and they remain on track in the competition. Timely and accurate entry of scores into the National Bible Bee dashboard portal is crucial.
Proclaim! Day Requirements
Recite 2 Memory Passages
- One Navigate Memory Passage. Parents or the host may choose from one of the Navigate Memory Passages in your Discovery Journal.
- One Explore Memory Passage. Students choose one Explore Memory Passage that they can recite confidently.
Take the 8-Item Test
This can be downloaded from your NBB portal and checked manually. For those attending the Proclaim Day at the Museum of the Bible, you have a choice to do it during registration or administer it at home before or after the event. We also emailed a Google Form link for families who are travelling, for convenience purposes.
