2024 MATHCOUNTS Nationals alumni from all across the nation have come together to administer the first-ever ELMOCOUNTS Competition, a mock written by the 2024 Nationals alumni given to the 2025 Nationals participants. By providing the next generation of mathletes with free, high quality practice, we're here to boast how strong of an alumni community MATHCOUNTS has, as well as foster interest in the beautiful art that is problem writing!

The tests and their corresponding submissions forms will be released here, on this thread, on Monday, April 21, 2025. The deadline is May 10, 2025. Tests can be administered asynchronously at your home or school, and your answers should be submitted to the corresponding submission form. If you include your AoPS username in your submission, you will be granted access to the private discussion forum on AoPS, where you can discuss the tests even before the deadline.

• "How do I know these tests are worth my time?"
  See our credentials at the top of the post - every member of our problem-writing committee is an alumnus of the 2024 MATHCOUNTS National Competition. Additionally, many of us have written problems for previous contests such as WMC.
• "Who can participate?"
  Anyone may participate in any stage of the competition, regardless of age or their previous scores!
• "How do I sign up?"
  Signing up is neither mandatory nor binding, but it adds this thread to your feed for update, as well as shows us support :). You can do so in a reply to this thread by adding your username to the list and incrementing the count.
• "What if I have multiple students?"
  You can administer all of them together, then have each student submit their answers separately. For the Team round (if any, see below), have the captain submit the team's answers once. One school may have as many teams as they like.
• "What if a problem is ambiguous, incorrect, etc.?"
  If you are taking the test and think there is an error in one of the problems, skip the problem and keep going (as you would in an actual competition). After the timer goes off, email us at elmocounts2025@gmail.com (do not spoil it in this thread!).
• "Will there be solutions?"
  Official solutions will be released publicly after the corresponding submission deadline. In the meantime, you can see what others have shared in the private discussion forum. If you're still stuck on one of the problems, feel free to ask in the forum or email us at elmocounts2025@gmail.com and we'd be happy to help.
• "Will there be a Countdown Round administered?"
  If you all are interested in having a Countdown Round administered at the 2025 National Competition, let us know below or in the form - if enough people are interested, we may write a Countdown Round.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email us at elmocounts2025@gmail.com (or PM me)!
