I think you may be right. I am confusing/mixing AMC8 with AMC10/12. There is a pin for top scoring AMC10 or AMC12 per test site - or at least there was through last year. Then top-scoring two years in a row yields a bronze medal, three years a silver medal and four years a gold medal.

You are correct. I was just saying that it would take a perfect score because several kids score a perfect paper each year.
