The Academic Team competes in academic Brain Brawls and the National Academic Exam.  Brain Brawls are academic competitions like Jeopardy.  Points are earned for correct answers and subtracted for incorrect answers.  The National Academic Exam is a 100 question exam that is based on the Naval Science Curriculum. Last school year, we had three teams take the National Academic Exam, while they won second place at the Turlock Bulldog Challenge Brain Brawl.  This year,  they won fourth place at the Turlock Bulldog Challenge Brain Brawl.
