Current Scores

All three rounds are over. The Individual test had some perfect scores. Final results are now posted for Region 1, Region 2, Region 3 and Region 4. The winning school in each region is offered a Convention Grant to attend the National Convention this summer in Sacramento. The grant includes two registrations and some money to offset travel expenses. If you are the winner in a region, contact Kay Weiss at the national office for your grant.

The national office has also donated door prizes. Winners are posted here.

Scoring Method For Awards

At the end of each round, the raw score for each student is standardized by dividing by the highest score attained by a student for that test. For example, if a Theta student takes the Geometry topic test and scores 45 points and top score by the Theta on the same test is 60. The student score would standardized by 45 divided by 60 times 100 equals 75. In this way, the tests are normalized for difficulty and each round is weighted the same.

Individual total scores are the sum of the three rounds of standardized scores. Thus, the highest individual score will be 300. The top 10 students in each region (I, II, III, IV) and division (Mu, Alpha and Theta) will be given plaques. Places 11 through 25 will be given certificates.

The top two student scores in each math level, six total, comprise the school score for each round. For each round then, a school can earn up to 600 points or 1800 for the entire contest. The top ten schools in each region will receive plaques.

This year, the national office is awarding the top school in each region a convention grant! The grant will pay two registrations and assist in travel expenses to the winning school in each region.
