Copied this from the New Jersey Science League Web Site. 

The New Jersey Science League is a competitive science organization operating within the State of New Jersey.

The Science League had its beginning in 1962 by Dr. Mal Sturchio, a professor of chemistry at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Even though the beginning of the League was for chemistry students only,  it finally grew to its present size offering competitive science exams in chemistry, physics, biology, and earth science.

     The competitions are on two levels.  One level is for the students.  Students within any one testing area are ranked with each other based upon their scores on 3 of the 4 exams given.  Any student completing 3 of the 4 exams receives a certificate from the Science League.   The top ten percent (10%) of the students receiving a certificate also receive a plaque.

                The next level of competition is with teams.  The students make up teams from the various schools. Each school only needs two members for each team, but as many as four may compete for each subject area. Eightteams are possible.  Schools may sign up for one to eight teams.  Starting with the January competition, the teams in each subject area are ranked according to the sum of the top two student scores for each team. Team scores are cumulative from January through April.  Competition within each testing area is extremely keen.  By the end of the season there can be as little as one question  separating first place from second place.

Testing dates for this year’s New Jersey Science League competition will be announced soon!
