[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS 11 got 17, made the honor roll, My friend’s son, 4th grader got 19, it’s his first AMC 8, he made DHR, another friend’s daughter also made Honor Roll at 6th grade, they are all from the same math club, very competitive one in Chantilly, Alpha STEM math club.

[b]That’s not surprising if these kids have been attending a math club and practicing. [/b] Hope the kids are there  because they love math and not the parents.  A friend’s kid walked into the test cold in 3rd grade and got a similar score.[/quote]

Disagree.  A regular kid can't practice his or her way to a score that high.  To get on these lists, kids seem to either need to be quite talented in math + practice a lot, or they need to be exceptionally talented in math.  [/quote]

I’m a np. The amc 8 is for sure study-able. I think a lot people don’t want others to know this.  There are types of questions that require certain tricks that appear on every exam. These are tricks that are easily practiced. A 17 is not a high score. It’s a great score but not one that proves exceptional talent beyond being good at the AMC exam. My 10yo isn’t interested in these exams but answered the last question correctly so I was pretty chuffed. From what I’ve heard this year was difficult but for middle schoolers familiar with the tricks a 20 was an easy score. [/quote]
