[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are reports of poor proctoring at the places that allow the kids to take it on computers and kids using AI to answer questions. There is a wide amount of time when the test is offered so there are reports of people taking pictures of the tests and sending them out so kids can get the answers before the exam.

I know in the past few years that there were youtube videos with the test questions on them before the test. All this does is raise the test scores for the small group of people who cheat and make it harder for strong competitors who don’t cheat to make the cut off for AIME. I believe that AIME is given in a very controlled environment so once you are there cheating is harder.

Last eyar they lowered the needed score for AIME when they realized that there had been cheating, I see people suggesting that might happen this year as well. Most people were predicting far lower scores for the AMC10 then came out, like between a 93-96 for the A and even lower for the B. It was a hard test this year. [/quote]

Most of the poor proctoring I have heard of is when people don't take the test at their school at the same time as all their classmates.

My kid took it at an off campus site, Carson didn't offer AMC10. His group took a paper test, no computers. It is doable and probably would help to reduce cheating.[/quote]
