Back-to-School Math Contest Year 1
About
The first annual Back-To-School Math Contest (BTSMC) was held from September 24, 2022 through September 26, 2022.
The BTSMC is a 75-minute, 25 question test that follows the same format as the AMC.
Registration
If you are interested in the competition, fill in the registration form at: https://tinyurl.com/registerBTSMC
Additionally, as stated previously, please join our Discord server, as we will be using Discord to hold the contest and communicate with participants.
The registration deadline is 11:59 PM EST on Friday, September 22.
Format/Rules
The BTSMC will resemble the format of the AMC 10: there will be 25 questions to be solved in 75 minutes, and the difficulty will be approximately that of an AMC 10 as well. It is intended to mimic an actual AMC 10, so we believe it is good practice for the actual AMC.
Unlike our previous contests, this competition will not be held live; instead, the test can be taken during any 75-minute window from Saturday, September 24 through Monday, September 26. The test will open at 8:00 AM EST on September 24, and will close at 11:59 PM EST on September 26.
The contest will be held through a platform with an automatic timer- in other words, once you start the test, the timer for 75 minutes will start. More details regarding how this will work will be announced as the contest date gets closer.
Note that the use of calculators, textbooks, computer programs, and other outside aids is strictly prohibited. In addition, please refrain from discussing the problems before the submission period is over (so 11:59 PM on September 26). Breaking any of these rules will result in disqualification from the BTSMC and potentially a ban from future Math4All events as well.
Prizes
The top scorer will receive a cash prize, and the second place scorer will receive a $25 cash prizes. In addition, the top middle school scorer, along with 5 other randomly selected participants, will receive a $80 coupon for a BBMC (Bonnie Branch Math Circle) course.
The top 50 scorers will receive a lifetime Taskade Unlimited Subscription as well (valued at $1000+).
