[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that my dd is getting 15-16/25, based on her practice tests at home. She only did about 3-4 practice tests two weeks before the real test. Should we push for honor roll next year?She is in 7th grade now. How much time do students usually spend on preparing this test to be on honor roll?

Eventually, I’d like her to try for AMC 10 and see if there is a chance for qualifying for AIME. I hope I am not doing the wrong thing for pushing her.

She is taking algebra 1 right now and finds it to be relatively easy. Because she is surrounded with many highly intelligent kids, she lacks a little bit confidence to excel in math (not the classroom math, but the more challenging question kind of math), though she’s got all As. She doesn’t know what her passion is yet, or if strong math skills would be relevant to her future passion, but She is moderately driven, meaning she cares a lot about her grades and tests in school, but not very keen to finish all her homework on AOPS.

Sorry about the rambling. Any advice from parents with similar kids would be very helpful. Thank you![/quote]

My kid is good at math but has no interest in it.
Getting to high levels of achievement in AMC cannot be done by parental force of will without crushing your child's ego.
We all hope that our kids develop a passion for something but honestly very few kids do.  Very few adults do.[/quote]
