Hello everyone! My friend and I created a mock AMC 10, and it is almost ready. Naturally, we would need some proofreaders for the test, as we might have made some errors. Also, we are planning to also make a mock AMC 12, with some harder problems (in particular, #25 and #23, as well as some others; I will tell you in detail when you become a helper) in addition to around 12 of the same problems on the AMC 10. We would like some helpers to help us finish that. If you are interested, post on this thread (so we can keep an active list). (Note: If you help with the test, you will not be allowed to participate.)
However, if you wish to take the test, please choose only ONE contest (10 or 12) to take as there will be problems that are replicas. We will decide testing dates a little later when we are done with the test.
So, Happy New Year everyone, and thanks in advance for participating!
Copy this list.
EDIT: From now on, don't pm me saying which test you want to take. Say that when you submit solutions (e.g. put your first sentence saying "This is for the AMC 12 test" or something like that).
EDIT2: There is no longer any limit on the number of helpers. However, in order to be a helper, you can not be a participant, as I mentioned before.
