The weekly news quiz is the seven-day recap version: one round that sweeps up the bigger stories of the week. It rewards anyone who's been even loosely plugged in, and a few minutes of skimming during the week is enough to do well.

How it's structured

Instead of one day's headlines, it pulls from the whole week across world events, politics, science, business, sport and culture. The stories are the prominent ones, so broad awareness beats deep detail.

Light preparation goes far

You don't need to study. Skimming a reputable news roundup once or twice a week is usually enough to recognise the major stories when they appear as questions.

On quiz day

Read carefully, since news questions pin down specific names and numbers. Confirm anything uncertain with a quick search of the story, and find it through the Rewards dashboard if it isn't on the homepage.
