Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Correlations between AMC8 and AMC10?

AMC 8 scores have been updated, and you can now see the Honor Rolls (for students and schools) and the Achievement Roll for students grade 6 and lower.

Ohmathmom, I can't seem to find the current AMC 8 results from your link (or anywhere else!). The drop down menu on the page lists previous years, but I can't seem to find this year- is there another place on the page I should be looking?
Thanks!

Cricket - you were looking in the right place. I saw the scores, etc. posted at that link last night, but they are gone this morning - this year's AMC8 has disappeared from the drop down list. Presumably they'll get them back up soon.

Thanks so much, I have tried a few times since the first link was posted, and was feeling pretty stupid, like I must be missing something obvious. I will try again later.

Yesterday I saw an inconsistency in the lists: a 4th grader was on the "Perfect Score" list (which would be amazing), but was not on the "Achievement Roll" (for scoring at least 15/25 and being in Grade at most 6). Maybe they have some data glitches.

They are only about half way done with scoring. It's not unusual for this year's results to disappear in the morning when they update. They reappear later in the day, try checking in the afternoon and evening.

Interesting! I haven't looked at their stats that closely. I supppose if some schools routinely require their freshmen & sophomores to take the AMC10, then that would definitely shift the average down. It would be informative to know if the normal practice is for all students in a participating school to take the AMC10.

Our district is also very cautious about accelerating students. Some schools don't have any accelerated students while others may have a few at certain points in time. Thanks for the heads-up about the online scores!

That's an interesting interpretation. I did wondered about that myself as 15/25 on the graph looked roughly around 85 to 90 percentile to me.

They must update different reports at different times because I can see my DS' name but the list clearly doesn't include every name that should be on there based on the contest score grade report.
