[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math Olympiad is one of the more common ones, also called MOEMS.  [/quote]

It's also kind of a crapshoot as to whether a school will offer it.  Title I LLIV program did have MOEMS.  Non Title I center did not.

To be perfectly honest, it's not a particularly good math contest for anyone other than kids completely new to problem solving.  If your school doesn't offer it, you're not missing much.  [/quote]

Our school set up coaching, so kids could meet an hour a week and learn some math and problem solving.

Does TJ look at MathCounts/Science Olympiad/AMC 8/10 achievements? Most kids are prepped outside to attend this competition. Many MS don't even have after school activities (still requires to pay money). If you pick list of top achievers almot all kdis are
having outside enrichment. In my MS, all kids who were placed at state level had outside enrichment.  Even if MS has after school classes, 8-10 1-hour long classes can not posisble bring out the best in kids that makes top scorer.
