In the fast-paced world that we live in today, being able to think critically is becoming an increasingly important skill. Critical thinking is the ability to analyze information, evaluate evidence, and draw logical conclusions. It is a skill that is essential for success in many areas of life, including education, business, and even personal relationships. Quiz competitions are one of the most effective ways to enhance students’ critical thinking skills. In educational contexts, teachers use quiz to assess students comprehension of material covered in class. Quiz may be used to reinforce learning or as a formative assessment to gauge student progress. A quiz is a form of assessment or a short test that evaluates a person's knowledge, understanding, or abilities in a specific subject or topic.
