Do they tell you solved correctly? How do kids know how did on it?
It was not a very hard problem. Probably a breeze for those in math counts club at my DD’s school. For reference my DD did not get into the math counts club at her school due to competition.
AMC 8 score 16. So top 25%.
She did not have enough time to complete it. As per her because she had to explain and essay about the problem.
The sob story essays are a big part of being selected.
DD has been selected. Geometry HN
No experience factors. 4 gpa in math and science. South Asian.
My best wishes to all kids worked hard and sure are very talented and didn’t get in.
Also best of luck to those who got in.
I am not a fan of the new process. It’s not transparent.
