Competition

Test Format

The test consists of two parts: an Individual Round and a Team Round. On the Individual Round, students will work independently to solve 15 questions in 60 minutes, and similarly, in the Team Round, students will work in groups of 3 to solve 10 questions in 60 minutes. All answers are positive integers, and are at roughly AMC8 to AMC10 difficulty.

Problem point values for the Individual Round will be determined by a post-weight function, where we take into account both the difficulty of the problem and how many students solved it. However, for the Team Round, point values will be indicated in square brackets next to the problem. Sweepstakes for teams are determined by team members' performances on both the individual and team rounds.
