The teams took a written test worth a total of 60 points during the second part of the preliminary competition. Students used their geography know-how to answer questions on a variety of topics, including physical, cultural, and economic geography. They also used their geography skills to interpret graphs that showed climate data. Teams had 45 minutes to discuss and answer the 60 questions. The three teams with the highest combined scores on a map-reading exercise and the written test advanced to the final round.
