Study Materials

High School Academic Study Materials

Contest study packets are now being provided at NO COST.  They are available in digital, downloadable format from our website.

We thank you in advance for your patience as we continue to transfer study materials from previous years from the UIL online store to the study material webpage.

A+ Academic Study Materials (Grades 2-8)

To purchase low-cost UIL practice and study materials for grades 2-8 shop the UIL Online Store. Study materials, packets and manuals are available in digital, downloadable format, unless otherwise specified.

Contest Webpages

Each contest has a dedicated page located under a heading of the contest discipline. Check the different webpages for general contests, STEM, speech and debate, theatre, journalism and the A+ Program for current information. Most information, along with notes from the contest directors and additional study resources, are found on each page.

Contest Handbooks and Manuals

The UIL publishes manuals and handbooks as free downloads to provide guidelines for each UIL academic contest. Handbooks are intended for contestants, coaches and contest directors. All participants should be familiar with the contents. Most are updated every year or substantially revised every few years as needed.
