[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep.  It's cheating.  My kid (who made olympiad last year and has always had DHR since 7th grade) got a 145.5 on the 12A and didn't make DHR.  He's pissed.  He knows 3 other kids who won awards at USAMO last year, including 1 who made MOP, and none of them had perfect scores.  Yet apparently 300 random kids did.

MAA is dumb enough that they're giving the problems to China a week early and they're not using a lockdown browser to administer the tests.  [/quote]

The DHR isn’t even an honor roll anymore since the 2023 system overhaul. AIME and USAMO are much more important, so the very top performers can jahrugnoff the AMC.

The real victims are the kids who would have qualified and done well on the AIME, but don’t get a chance. From what I saw, there are probably are non-speedy talented  students who could score a 9 or 10 on AIME, potentially JMO qualifying,  but miss it because they didn’t qualify for AIME. Even scoring 7 or 8 on AIME is a big achievement, tainted and robbed from students who don’t even get the chance to sit for the computer scored test.[/quote]
