[quote=Anonymous]Placing in the top 5% of the AMC 8 in 8th grade is a big deal. It is not an easy or trivial accomplishment. Most of the kids taking the test are strong math students, which means that they make the test more difficult to challenge those kids. Yes, there are going to be younger kids who place in the top 5% of the AMC 8 and the AMC 10 but those kids are the outliers. Arguing that because a small percentage of top scorers are younger means that the 8th grade kids who score in the top 5% is just not a big deal undermines the work that kids put in. [/quote]
