where is it obtainable?

[futuregeoking]

I got it from Amazon...

[2008HerrickSchoolBee]

oh, I'll wait for it to come to Barnes & Noble or another nearby book store then.

I do have an Amazon gift card that I haven't used, but does it have lots of high-level state and National questions? Because at this point I seem to be running out of good questions, and the other books always pick the easiest questions from states.

[2008HerrickSchoolBee]

I actually just try to "wing" the bee, looking occasionally at an atlas or capitals, and coming here.  Maybe if I study more this time I won't have a disappointing finish (first six right, last ywo wrong, last person to get their first question wrong, one person didn't).  Anyon eknow the retail price?

[yankzgodzilla55]

It especially helps with the current events round because it recaps the year in events.

Also this will really help with nationals.

the questions are challenging

look up geography coaching geobee demystified and u will find the website

I got the current event question wrong.

"The first Malaysian was launched into space from what former Soviet country?" or something.  I guessed Kyrgyzstan rather than Kazakhstan, I just knew it wasn't Russia or there'd be no point to the question.

What are the rounds in state?

IS this it?

3 rounds world
2 rounds us
1 round physical
1 round current events
1 round historical

And ALSO IF ANY CAN POST PAST PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS PLEASE!!! IT would help for states greatly.

And also 2008Herricks, did that question also give the year the space thing was launched?

thanks!!

they are different every year I think.

[geowzrd]

From my experience they have done, U.S. comparisons, World comparisons, Current events, Physical geography, economic geography, "odd item out", cultural geography, Plants and Animals introduced to the United States, Flora and fauna, and World cities.

[2008HerrickSchoolBee]

My elementary didn't do the GeoBee, so I have only had it one year, so i didn't know.

[yankzgodzilla55]

thats a good range of topics to look at

[2008HerrickSchoolBee]

I'll just skim throught them all, to get them all in, just less than 3 weeks now!

I tried to order it on Amazon but they no longer carry it.
