Try-Math-A-Lon (TMAL) is a tutoring program meant to foster good study habits, help prepare for standardized test examinations such as the ACT and SAT, and promote competition and good sportsmanship. The TMAL competition is held between teams comÂ_ posed of high school students in Grades 9-12. The purpose of the competition is to help groom TMAL team members for success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses and prepare them for standardized (SAT/ACT) testing. The aim of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) is for each TMAL team to compete in a local competition held in a local NSBE zone in order to advance to the Fall Regional Conference TMAL competition to compete. Winning local teams from each zone go on to compete at the regional TMAL competition held in each of the six NSBE regions, at the Fall Regional Conference. The winning regional TMAL teams go on to compete for the TMAL World national competition title.
