Host: Marc Summers
Announcer: Burton Richardson
Assistant: George Davidson
Premise: Three contestants answer grade-specific questions in an effort to win $50,000 towards a college education.
PLAY:
Elementary School
To begin the game, each of three players is given 500 points. Host Summers asks a question from a first-grade level. The first to buzz in may answer. Correct answers are worth 100 points, a wrong answer deducts 100 points, and other players may try. This continues up through fourth grade. For fifth grade, each player is given the chance to answer a question, typically spelling a word based on George's costume, sometimes the questions deal with locating countries on a globe, matching presidents with facts about them, and predicting what balloons would do when filled with various gases.
Middle School
Questions six through eight have multiple answers. Summers asks the question, which has four answers. The first to buzz in may answer and score 250 points for doing so. Then, the next player down the line gets to play. A wrong answer knocks that player out for the rest of the question, until all are done or four answers have been given. As a special bonus, the first player to answer the Sixth Grade question gets $200 worth of either Domino's Pizza or quarters. The Seventh Grade question also has four answers, but Eighth Grade has seven answers, allowing for anything to happen. After Eighth Grade, the low scorer is eliminated, and the two remaining players move on to...
High School
To begin High School, the leading player is read a category for a Ninth Grade question. He or she may play the question, or "cut class" and force the opponent to play. A right answer wins 500 points, a wrong one deducts same. The "cut class" option may only be used once. The players alternate control of the questions up through Twelfth Grade.
Senior Year Showdown
The final test of the main game. The leading player is offered two topics, and chooses one. Going back and forth, the players answer progressively difficult questions for 500 points. A wrong answer ends that player's campaign, and the high scorer wins the game, the Super Prize Package, usually worth $3,000 to $4,000 and gets to play the $50,000 Final Exam.
$50,000 Final Exam
The winner of the day answers high school and college level questions for sixty seconds. Right answers score a point, wrong answers or passes score zero. Scoring ten right answers within the time limit wins a $50,000 tax-free trust fund for the student of the champion's choice, otherwise $250 for each right answer is deposited in that same fund.
Four players managed to win the $50,000 jackpot out of the 32 episodes, one occurring on the April Fools' Day episode with Kennedy guest hosting.
