[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it is true that kids who make it to that level are insanely talented at math, I truly hate the cottage industry it has built around contest math. Kids in early elementary school taking advanced geometry at AOPS… or functions. At this point, if you don’t start those classes at an early age, you really won’t do very well on the AMCs. Someone will point out some outliers and sure, maybe they exist, but not many of them… and the pressure and competition are absurd. At least in the DMV.[/quote] No true. If you are interested and have potential, it's easy to catch up. Some kids start early and rocket to the top early. Some start early and do well early but hit a ceiling. Some start later and do great. Most don't have the capacity and dedication to be the best. [/quote]
