Hi guys,

When filling in the Achievement part for an activity, let’s say I have been doing chess for years, do I put my ranking from every national championship or do I just wrote “Best ranking at National Championship: 5th”. Which is better? Please advise. Thanks :slight_smile:

There’s only a limited amount of space, so I’d just put down your highest ranking. Maybe put down how many times you’ve been to the national championships too if you can.

@corbeaux okay thanks :slight_smile: do I put down what year I achieved my highest ranking too? I wasn’t planning on doing it because my highest ranking came in Grade 9, which looks kind of bad haha since it’s supposed to show an improving trend

@Harvardbound2017 I don’t think you have to.

Just put highest ranking/national championships, don’t worry about when.

Okay thanks everyone for your input :slight_smile: anyone else wants to offer their opinions?
