Contests

On the previous contests and previous scoresheets pages, not all contests and scoresheets are available.  If anyone has a copy of unlisted contests or scoresheets, please send them to Jonathan Tick at jtick@westorangeschools.org.

All participating schools need to read these guidelines and convey this information to the participating students.

1.  Students may use any calculator that follows the following guidelines:

• NO TI-89, TI-Inspire, or the like (aka, no CAS calculators).

• NO calculator that has a QWERTY keyboard, laptop, or cell phone calculator.

Any student found using an unapproved calculator during the contest will have their score disqualified.

2.  Students need to bring #2 pencils.  The test is scored using Scantron and pencils will not be provided.

3.  Each school may bring AT MOST five students at each level:  Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Advanced Math (Pre-Calculus), Calculus, and Statistics.  Every student must be currently enrolled in the class in order to compete.

5.  Each contest will be 50 minutes long.

6.  During the test, students will be seated with one student at each table taking each subject area test.
