The PSQ is an annual contest designed to test first-year college students' knowledge of statistics.

The 2003 PSQ, the twelfth in the series, will be conducted on a nationwide basis involving students enrolled in colleges and universities in the 17 regions of the country.

View the logo from its bi-directional, yet concentric perspective. Enlarging circles emanating from southeast to northwest, calls your attention to the nationwide coverage and vision of the PSQ - statistics in the southeast corner draws your sights downwards from the definitive pointed end of the enlarging circles to the open hole that marks the central reference point. GOLD for knowledge.

The golden circle is the uncovered aperture created by the PSQ through which the youth and studentry (represented by the GREEN ) gain access to statistics. In its unadorned position within the square-shaped boundaries, the circle is also the tail of the "Q" (for Quiz) built-up by the positive-negative interplay of gold and green on white.

The PSQ is firmly cradled in the nurturing arms of her institutional supporters ( BLUE corners in the northeast and southwest), especially her birthing parents - National Statistics Office and the Philippine Statistical Association.
