Scoring
0 to 5 points = Bible Baby
Scripture says that new believers need the milk of the Word because they are like babies. Time to open up the Bible and take a good look. It’s how you learn about God and His plan for you.

6 to 11 points = Bible Beginner
You know a few answers to the easier questions, but a lot of the questions had you stumped. The Bible is your guide for life, so it’s important to read every day. Try reading through the New Testament. Talk about what you read with your youth leader or your parents.

12 to 17 points = Bible Learner
You’ve moved beyond the very basics. Now it’s time to go deeper and grow in Bible knowledge. Try reading through the Bible in one year with Brio.

18 to 23 points = Bible Pro
Good for you. You’ve obviously studied the Bible. Try keeping a journal of how you apply your Bible reading each day. Remember that James says that a person who reads the Bible and doesn’t apply it to his life is like a person who looks in a mirror and then forgets what she looks like. You wouldn’t walk away from the mirror without taking care of the glob of broccoli you see stuck in your teeth. Don’t walk away from the Bible without finding out what God is saying to you and taking action.

24 to 30 points = Bible Genius
You have a solid knowledge of the Bible. Super! Are you taking time to find out what the Word says to you? Pick a book of the Bible such as James or Philippians and study it verse by verse using a commentary. Keep a journal of what you’re learning, how God is changing you through it and how you’re daily applying it in your life.
