I am practicing previous years' MathCount papers, but they seem to get progressively harder each year.

So, for those of you who scored well in Mathcounts, how many sprint questions are/were you able to do in State/Nationals?

I want to get a sense of where I stand.

Thanks in advance!

I believe more recent tests are more difficult. For earlier years like 2000-2015, I mock 44-46(because of sillies). For later years, I mock 34-39. (For nationals)

on each page there are light problems(odd numbered problems) and then there are harder probs(easy probs). So plan of action is to do the light ones first in like 2 mins and use the other 4 mins for the hard one

Chapter: 23 on sprint and 12 on target(2025) (we don't talk about my silly on #4) and a combined score of 35 in 2024
[redacted] an 18 combined score in 2024
Nationals: mocked 2018 and got a 35(23 on sprint and 12 on target (should I be concerned???))

My advice is to just do a lot of mocks. Last year, I got a 29 on the state round and didn't even make top 12(NY). This year I did every past National and State round from 2000-2023. Even though there were a couple of people better than me, I still got first because I did way more practice tests than them.

Solve AIME problems. Once you can regularly solve problems 1–10, give yourself five minutes per problem.

*Solve AIME problems using a calculator. It's so nice to have one, especially for all the people that missed JMO because of arithmetic errors.

Meh, 6th grade got 36 at states, 24+12. No nats qual rip
7th grade, 39 states 25+14 Nats got 22 :/
8th grade: 41 states 27+14 Nats got like 30ish something

To practice State Sprint, do AMC10 and AMC12 and time yourself in terms of MathCounts time. For last 5ish u can use AIME problems.
Target, same as above except allow a calculator and make the problems harder.
