[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People hate when parents come on here to brag. There were only three 6th graders in all of VA that scored a 20 last year and then only another 4 or 5 that scored 21 or better (a 5th grader at BASIS in McLean got a perfect 25). Practice makes a big difference. That's why math teams have a coach and practice. [b]What also makes a difference is what level of math your child is in at the time.[/b] [/quote] +1 And I bet that smart kid has already taken Algebra already.[/quote] This. Taking Algebra is a big advantage. Taking Geometry is a huge one for AMC 8. Only being in pre-Algebra isn't going to cut it for solving most of the problems. I bet all of the 4th-6th graders who made Honor roll on AMC 8 are at least taking Algebra I somewhere. If not at school, then they're doing it at RSM, AoPS, or Chinese school. It's impressive, but not *that* impressive for a younger kid to make the AMC8 Honor roll when the kid is already taking Algebra or Geometry, and the kid is part of a strong math coaching system.
