k Tri-Hard Mathcounts Mock Test

jayevvms123 17

N Jan 28, 2023 by sanaops9

Hey guys,

I would like to introduce the Tri-Hard Mathcounts Mock Test.

The reason I am doing this is to ease my pain of failing the AMC 8.

Could I get some test-solvers and problem-makers to sign up?

Achievements are optional, but they help to pick the most qualified.

k 9 When do you prefer taking a Mock (math) Contest?

Emathmaster 7

N Sep 6, 2020 by Stormersyle

When do you prefer taking a Mock (math) Contest?

Close to the actual contest:
- Serves to give an accurate prediction of the actual contest score.
- It is convient; the test is soon and the time right before the test should be best used for final practice for the test.
- There is more motivation to do math around contests.

In the middle of the year:
- There is no other conflciting mocks to worry about.
- It can serve as a benchmark exam.

k Mock MC Nationals

Th3Numb3rThr33 94

N Apr 24, 2017 by eisirrational

[quote=Th3Numb3rThr33 two years ago]I recently (as in in the shower yesterday) had the idea of making a mock MATHCOUNTS competition. Unlike most mock competitions, I was thinking of releasing multiple tests (School, Chapter, State, and possibly National Mock Tests) over the course of the whole mock Mathcounts "season".[/quote]

*cringe*

Well, here we go again.

Over the past 1-2 months, I've been compiling a Mock MATHCOUNTS Test to help aspiring AoPSers practice for the upcoming contest. The test will be approx. a difficulty that of a national test, albeit a) the difficulty curve may be a little strange and b) the last few problems may be harder than usual.

The test will include a Sprint and a Target, with normal rules applying to each. When submitting answers, you will most likely submit through a Google form. Some formatting rules are included below, however, breaking them will not result in a large number of incorrect answers nor will it result in disqualification (just please follow them for a speedy grading!).

Formatting

I'll need a few test-solvers to help me test-run the test, so if you want to test solve, please PM me. In addition, no signups are needed (although you can signup below so I can see how many people are planning on taking it). You can simply take the test when it is released, which will hopefully be about 5-7 days from now (I've already written all the problems, mind you).

The followings are people that have signed up to testsolve (six should be enough):
Testsolvers

~~That's pretty much it. Stay tuned!~~

The test has been released! Read the instructions carefully, and good luck! Submissions are due by 4/12/2017.
