Our website: https://www.ommcofficial.org/

This is not a local competition; any student 18 or younger anywhere in the world can attend. We have changed some elements of our contest format, so read carefully and thoroughly. Join our Discord or monitor this thread for updates and test releases.

[CASH PRIZES] IndyINTEGIRLS Spring Math Competition
Indy_Integirls   55
N Today at 1:28 AM by GallopingUnicorn45
[center]IMAGE

Greetings, AoPS! IndyINTEGIRLS will be hosting a virtual math competition on May 25,
2024 from 12 PM to 3 PM EST.
Join other woman-identifying and/or non-binary "STEMinists" in solving problems, socializing, playing games, winning prizes, and more! If you are interested in competing, please register here![/center]

----------

[center]Important Information[/center]

Eligibility: This competition is open to all woman-identifying and non-binary students in middle and high school. Non-Indiana residents and international students are welcome as well!

Format: There will be a middle school and high school division. In each separate division, there will be an individual round and a team round, where students are grouped into teams of 3-4 and collaboratively solve a set of difficult problems. There will also be a buzzer/countdown/Kahoot-style round, where students from both divisions are grouped together to compete in a MATHCOUNTS-style countdown round! There will be prizes for the top competitors in each division.

Problem Difficulty: Our amazing team of problem writers is working hard to ensure that there will be problems for problem-solvers of all levels! The middle school problems will range from MATHCOUNTS school round to AMC 10 level, while the high school problems will be for more advanced problem-solvers. The team round problems will cover various difficulty levels and are meant to be more difficult, while the countdown/buzzer/Kahoot round questions will be similar to MATHCOUNTS state to MATHCOUNTS Nationals countdown round in difficulty.

Platform: This contest will be held virtually through Zoom. All competitors are required to have their cameras turned on at all times unless they have a reason for otherwise. Proctors and volunteers will be monitoring students at all times to prevent cheating and to create a fair environment for all students.

Prizes: At this moment, prizes are TBD, and more information will be provided and attached to this post as the competition date approaches. Rest assured, IndyINTEGIRLS has historically given out very generous cash prizes, and we intend on maintaining this generosity into our Spring Competition.

Contact & Connect With Us: Email us at indy@integirls.org.

AMC10JA   0
Yesterday at 11:35 PM
I know how you do on Olympiad is based on your effort and your thinking skill, but I am just curious is WOOT level 2 is generally for practicing the beginner olympiad contest (like USAJMO or lower), or also good to learn for hard olympiad contest (like USAMO and IMO).
Please share your thought and experience. Thank you!

i think you shouldn't aim for a target time -- effective, smart studying is more important than just working until your quota is done

preparation is different for some people depending on how talented you are, setting yourself to do x amount of hours every school day only creates stress.

Realistically it'd be best to start in middle school where you have infinite time, but you would need a lot of practice to be able to make it.

nah just put in whatever free time you have. Whenever you aren't at school, eating, or sleeping, you should be studying math. Do as much homework as you can in class or during lunch at school, or on the bus/car to/from school, in order to maximize the amount of uninterupted time you have for studying.

That doesn't mean MathDash doesn't help. That only means that youtube videos made by Sohil Rathi might help you.

Does MathDash lessons like the mini ones help you because I am rated like 1500+ in all of them I am pretty sure.
