I found this when I was investigating math competitions. It refers to the American Mathematics Competition.
"Major universities such like MIT are beginning to beg applying students for their AMC scores. Since the AMC tests a deeper level of math than the SAT this can help recognize students who are ready for a rigorous undergraduate curriculum."
Has anyone seen this requirement? My son's high academy just has a club for the Math League. Any comments on this competition? I presume that the only way to compete in AMC is if the school participates. His school also participates in the Academic Decathlon. Any comments on this competition? Perhaps I should open up the question to any type of academic club and comments on whether it was worthwhile or not. How about groups or competitions that don't require the involvement of a school?
My son likes the Science Olympiad (middle school) except the high school doesn't continue on. It has nothing for science.
