Presbyterian Boys Secondary School (Presec – Legon) has won the 2020 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).
After 11 good years and making it to two finals, Presec – Legon beat Adisadel College (Adisco) and Opoku Ware Senior High School (Owass) to win the 2020 NSMQ trophy and bragging rights.
Although they won the competition, it was a super tough five rounds for all the schools.
At the end of Round One, they were scrambling to come up with points. Presec – Legon finished with 14 points while Opoku Ware and Adisadel trailed behind with nine and seven respectively.
Round two had not eased upon them at all. At some point, many viewers thought the ‘that’s incorrect’ phrase quiz mistress Dr. Kauffman kept saying was a question.
The schools had missed the first three questions but Presec came through leading with 18 points.
The problem of the Day saved their day when Presec finished with 5 points bringing their total to 23 points.
Opoku Ware had 14 points while Adisadel finished with 15 after snagging eight out 10 points.
The True or False Round had Presec substituting their Mane, Benjamin, for their Van Dijk, Isaac.
Adisadel also made some changes to push their luck and attempt to win the ultimate prize.
However, by the end of the competition, Presec had a total of 36 points and their close competitors Adisadel had 31 points. OWASS scored 21 points.
