[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s no more easier to cheat on the AMC 8 this year than any other year. [/quote]
Parents couldn’t be in the same room as their kids in previous years.  This year, they could sit next to their kids and help them while the kid was taking the test.   [/quote]

Most of the tests were proctored by a teacher in my experience. And you could only see one question at a time on the screen. My 12yo would have flipped out if I tried to help her answer, and I’m probably not much better than her especially because the speed element. We would have been working against each other. Very few kids have parents who are A.) Willing to cheat and B.) Able to make  a difference. And like I said most kids are proctored by a teacher watching over zoom. A parent would not be able to help in that situation.

The only way to cheat is same as any other year—obtain answers before you test is given. This may happen in competitive areas at competence math clubs. But in my experience kids are taking this for fun.

Math kangaroo was different because the kids are younger and the questions are so easy. At least that’s my theory. [/quote]
