[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RSM and AoPS Are so good at prepping that I don’t know how a kid can be competitive if they’re not in one of those two program programs.[/quote]

You can prep at home with books + there are youtube videos of math students going through the solutions. Totally possible but requires parent involvement.[/quote]

Right, but AoPS has a system that you can do at home with books, videos, online practice, and online classes if you need them.  I read that every member of the US Math Olympiad team since 2015 uses AoPS.  To go into a math competition without using it (or RSM, I just don't know that system as well) seems like you are setting your kid up for failure.  [/quote]

There's no secret. The classes just provide a structure for discipline to study and practice. Some kids need that, some don't. [/quote]

None should be prepping, it will skew the numbers.  You want to know how well your child is doing naturally.  Prepping for this kind of test is over the top.  [/quote]

Math Kangaroo provides training for the test. Math competitions are prepared for. Some ES have math clubs that prepare for math comps. RSM has an entire program for math competition.

The problems are very different, there are strategies to answering them. Math comps are great because they teach kids that math is more then algorithms and mechanics.[/quote]
