We would like to remind that the Geographical Dictation consisted of 40 questions. The first part was the basic level of 10 questions, the so-called geographical educational program. It was compiled on the basis of well-known facts from geography. The second part of the 30 questions was more complex. It required the use of creative thinking, system logic and erudition. The participant was awarded 1 point for each correct answer, for an incorrect answer - 0 points. Thus, the participant received two results. The maximum number of points for the first part of the Dictation is 10, for the second - 30 points. 45 minutes were allotted for the writing.
