[quote=pettifogger][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with an update: DS took the AMC 8 as a 6th grader. He scored 17-19 on three practice tests. He scored an 18 on this years test, so he made the honor roll. He enjoyed the practice tests and is already eyeing the AMC 10 for next year. [/quote] Why? He has so much room to grow in AMC 8 and he's eligible for another 2 years.[/quote] A couple of reasons: Doing very well on the AMC 10 (or the AMC 12) leads to a path to the Olympiad (via the AIME, USA(J)MO, MOSP, etc). The AMC 8 does not have anything after it. Alternatively, (and more importantly) practicing AMC 10 problems would allow him to extend his range on the AMC 8 (i.e have a better shot at solving the most difficult AMC 8 problems, #20-25), as well as improve on other contests such as Mathcounts, etc.[/quote]
