About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz trains quick recall of which peak is the highest in a given mountain range, plus the spelling and naming variations that often appear on maps and in atlases.

Every question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can focus on accuracy rather than speed.

Difficulty and how to play

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: well-known ranges (like the Himalayas) sit alongside regional ranges where the highest peak isn’t as widely memorized. You can also choose your question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session to a short warm-up or a full deep dive.

  • Learn to separate similar-sounding ranges and peaks (e.g., nearby systems with different high points)
  • Build a mental map of where major ranges sit and which summit dominates each
  • Practice spotting “trick” options that are tall but not the highest in that specific range
  • Improve recognition of alternate names and transliterations for the same mountain
  • Reinforce continent-level geography by linking ranges to their flagship peaks

Common pitfalls to avoid

A frequent mistake is mixing a country’s highest mountain with a range’s highest peak—those are not always the same. Another trap is assuming the most famous mountain in a range must be the highest, which is often false outside the biggest headline ranges.
