Here is where I'll fully "publish" mock tests I've written.  So far there's only one, but there will definitely be more to come.

I'll also add a user count here.  It won't change whether the action occurs, but instead how I feel about the action.

==Apocalyptic AMC 8 (2020)==
 
This contest took place between September 8th and November 6th.  All problems were written by me <b>(bissue)</b> and testsolved by <b>nikenissan, bobthegod78, knightime1010, truffle, cw357,</b> and <b>ApraTrip.</b>
 
 
 
The mock was separated into two sections: The AMC 8 and The Tiebreakers.
 
 
 
Standard AMC 8 rules were used. All participants had 40 minutes to complete as many of the 25 problems as they could. Correct answers were worth 1 point each, while incorrect or blank answers were worth 0 points each.
 
 
 
The Tiebreakers were used to break ties between participants with the same score on the AMC 8.  The rules were the same as those used for the ARML tiebreaker.  For more information, see the original post in the AoPS Mock Contests Forum here:
