To all teachers and students,
The BK Quizzes are student-friendly, fun events. They are NOT exams.
Last year’s individual quiz (BK14) saw excellent scores from Forms 1-6.
Oral quizzes get SPM BK candidates to notice details, major events and God-moments.
Get into the Word now… God speaks to the reader, the seeker, the Bible scholar !
