Thanks, CalvinsDad! That is very helpful. Good strategy on your DS' part. My DS is still not the greatest with strategy and has been known at times to get stuck on particular problems rather than moving on efficiently during competition math. That is why I prefer that he take the Math II after it becomes "easy" to answer every question correctly. I will check but I am assuming that there is a penalty for a wrong answer and/or time is tight.
It's a relief that you can miss so many and still score a 800! However, it does beg the question of why they don't use those 5-6 questions to differentiate the top scorers so that you don't have almost twenty percent of students with the same top score.
We are not bothering with Math I since it is low level and not meant for STEM students.
