Its been a few days since the competition and wondering whether anyone took the time out of class to undertake the AMC.
I did the senior paper and needless to say found it quite challenging as it always is.
Purposely I spent the majority of my time on the multiple choice questions.
How did you all go?
A question for previous students not that I'm dwelling on the paper just curious if anyone would have a estimate for what cut-off would be for a HD(in points) for year 11 and 12 in the Senior Competition. My understanding that the percentage who get a HD increases from the 2% in previous years to 5%.
The increase from 2% to 5% is generally offset by the lack of students taking the Senior paper in contrast to Junior and Intermediate.
However, last year I got a HD in Year 11 with 87/135, although some friends did get HDs with scores as low as 71/135.
The prize cutoff was something comparable to 89-90, although that's quite a high cutoff in comparison with most years, because last year was significantly more manageable than this year (i was confidently able to answer 23/25 of the first 25, in comparison with just 20-21/25 this year). I hope my Q26 was right and that my guesses go well, even though the proposed solution was 224, which is disappointing (but justifiable).
All in all, i went pretty miserably, but so did most of the top students at my school.
Out of curiosity, did anyone get Q30? Apparently it's 62.
My predictions for this years cutoffs:
HD: 65/135
Prize: 80-85/135
