[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would focus on the AMC8. Your child did not score high enough to make the honor roll in AMC 8, it is not likely that they are going to score high enough to make the AIME taking the AMC 10. [/quote]

If the kid is a rising 9th grader, he's not eligible to take the AMC 8 next year.  So, there's no point in focusing on it.  [/quote]

True, I have not seen her child’s grade listed. My child took the AMC 8 as a 6 grader this year. I know some people have posted their kids took the AMC 8 before 6th grade. Taking the AMC 8 really doesn’t tell us what grade the child is in. Mine will take the AMC 8 again next year and is thinking about taking the AMC 10 to see how he does but his focus is on improving his AMC 8 score. He scored an 18 this year.

Her child took the AMC 8 this year and scored a 16, which is 2 points below honorable mention. If her child is not a current 8th grader then her child should probably focus on the AMC 8.

If her child is a rising 9th grader, I suspect that trying for the AIME cutoff when they did not hit the honorable mention level on the AMC 8 in 8th grade will be a stretch. The AMC 10 is a differnet type of test that requires mastery of the skills in the AMC 8 and then some.

And she has not said if this is a goal for her child or something she wants for her child. [/quote]
