| DC took AMC8 at school in January. The teacher told DC's score, but I am wondering when we get official result. DC got honor roll, so I want to have the result as a record. |

That score is about all they get. DS received a series of PDF certs for 6th grade honor roll, regular honor roll, and 2nd place at his location. None of the certs actually had his name on them. We know he scored an 18 on the test.
I don't think that there is anything else beyond that. |

| DC also got 18. DC just brought home a yellow paper stating second place (in school), and that's all. DC has not gotten a PDF cert. of honor roll, so I will ask teacher about that. |

DS did not get anything in person but he did not take it with his school. I think that is all that they get. |

8th grade is a great time to start learning that satisfaction comes from within, not from certificates and trophies.
But here's some help with the transition You can find a PDF editor app to update the year. |

Thanks. So, there is no official paper or anything indicating the score and name, or achievement. I see the name of kids of honor roll of the past AMC8 in the official website, so I guess that they eventually update the website to include the 2024 name list?

| APS and no score yet for AMC 8. Last we heard was back in January it would take months. |

| They can’t make too big of a deal about results due to equity concerns. The wrong colors and gender of kids do well on these exams, so they keep results pretty mysterious. |

Nope. They stopped releasing the honor roll lists in the last 2 years due to "privacy concerns." This year, for the AMC 10 tests, they had a box that parents could check consenting to the release of their kid's name. I was hoping this would suffice to overcome MAA's "privacy concerns," and let them release the honor rolls. Apparently it isn't. |

| ! So no honor roll list for AMC8. That's sad. Then there is no way to prove that you actually took the test or your score. . . Looking at the MAA.Org website, FAQs, it suggests emailing to AMC office to get the score information, so I am trying that route. |

It appears that they stopped posting that information after COVID. I don't know why they stopped. Iknow other competitions still post individual scores and winners, parents have to give permission for a child's name to be used. The default is that the child would be listed by their student number. DS did not ask about certificates or to look at the website. we had received the scre from his Proctor at the testing site, he did not do it through his school. Just last weekend the proctor sent the certificates but didn't put the kids names in the certs. DS could care less. I don't think it is a big deal because he is not going to include the scores on anything. He was fine with hearing his score and where he landed in the test. |

What does proving the score get you? DS is on the honor roll as a 6th grader but where do you see yourself using that info? The few places that we have started looking at for math camps or programs in MS all involve solving math problems, providing how you solved them, and then discussing your process. |

| Thanks. It's good to know that there would be no chance to use the score. It seems more casual test than I thought. AMC10 may be a bit more meaningful? Though I am not sure if DC would take AMC10. |

That is what we got this year just with 2024. It is a bit weird that they don’t put the kids name in but not that big of a deal in the long run. DS didn’t care about the certs, he just wanted to know his score. |

Are you sure it's "privacy"? It doesn't make sense that they'd keep the old lists up if they have privacy concerns. The disappearance of the honor rolls happened when they switched to the new data website edvistas. |
