[quote=Anonymous][quote=pettifogger][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 14 a good score for a sixth grader?[/quote]

That's actually a complicated question.  Is it a good score for an AAP/advanced math 6th grader who hasn't prepped for contests and isn't doing something like RSM or AoPS?  Absolutely!  It's well above the average score for 6th graders taking the test, who are already a highly self-selected group.

Is it a good score for kids who have done a lot of contest prep and are taking outside math contests?  It's a respectable score, but it's not particularly impressive.  [/quote]

Thank you, yes AAP 6th grader,  who has not prepped anything except for Noetic and that also once in a while.

How do I help him now?[/quote]
If money isn't a problem, enroll him in an AoPS math contest class, either online (cheaper), or at a a local academy around this area. If he is particularly motivated to do well, you might be able to get away with just buying AoPS book with their solution manuals and he can self study from them. Also have him work on past AMC 8/Mathcounts contest problems. All of the past AMCs as well as many other contest problems can be found on the AoPS site for free.[/quote]

Thank you [/quote]
