Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the movie, what was Akeelah's mark on the spelling test at school?

Answer: 100%

When Ms. Cross asked Akeelah how much she studied for the test, everyone assumed that she got it all or mostly wrong, but she received the highest mark in the class, 100%.

2. What did Akeelah's friend, Georgia, want to be when she grew up (at the beginning of the movie).

Answer: flight attendant

Georgia "had it all planned out" that Akeelah's brother would be the pilot, and she would be the flight attendant. But after a plane trip, Georgia was sure she wanted to be the pilot instead!

3. What was Akeelah's first word on the spelling bee at her school?

Answer: doubt

Akeelah won the bee at her school and went on to the district bee.

4. Which student won first place in the state bee?

Answer: Dylan

Dylan got first, Javier second, and Akeelah placed third. Akeelah liked Javier, and she sort of liked Dylan, but he was her main competition. When her mom took Akeelah out to scold her for lying and forging her dad's signature, Javier tried to stall so that Akeelah wouldn't be disqualified if she didn't get back to the bee in time.

5. What word did Akeelah have to spell in order to become co-champion (along with Dylan) at the national spelling bee?

Answer: pulchritude

At the beginning of the movie, Akeelah already knew how to spell 'pulchritude', so she was able to spell it easily at the bee. Each letter of the word was shown being said by a different person, like her dad, mom, her spelling coach, etc.

6. Where was the district bee held?

Answer: Beverly Hills

Thinking the district bee was to be held at Akeelah's school, her Mom was kind of shocked it was to be held so far away. Unfortunately, she couldn't come and see it since she was working that day.

7. What was Dr. Larabee's deceased daughter's name?

Answer: Denise

Denise was nine years old when she died of some kind of illness. Akeelah could empathize with Dr. Larabee (her spelling coach) because she had also lost someone special, her father.

8. What was Akeelah's big sister's name?

Answer: Kiana

Kiana went with Akeelah to the district bee since their Mom couldn't make it. While there, Kiana saw the mother of a participant tell her son that there was a "g" in 'carmagnole'. Because of this, the boy was disqualified and Akeelah had another chance to correctly spell 'pastiche'. After doing so, she became one of the top ten at the district bee.

9. When Akeelah was playing Scrabble on her computer, what word did she spell right before her sister came in to say it was time for supper?

Answer: fuchsia

Akeelah was excited because she was so close to getting a high score, but had to stop playing to go and eat. She was surprised to see her brother, Devon, who was back home after having been gone awhile.

10. What item did Akeelah bring to Dylan's hotel room after his Dad said he couldn't hang out with the other kids?

Answer: can of pop

Akeelah felt sorry that Dylan couldn't join them, and gave his Dad a can of pop for Dylan. Dylan was kind of surprised that they would invite him, since he was their competition. This happened the day before the national spelling bee.
