    Now that we have them, how are we supposed to know whether they did well or not? Because when I see my daughter scored 71 total, I'm happy that she was only a few points off qualifying for an award, but when I look at numbers like 14 out of 25 that doesn't sound so good, if you get what I mean.

    Depends on the grade level and current year competition intensity.
    Grade 3 around 70-80
    Grade 4 around 80-86
    Grade 5 around 86-92
    Grade 6 around 92-96

    National average for 8th graders for any of the subjects is below 13, so you should be proud of your kid.

    I am very proud! Hopefully we can get somewhere with her school now (not holding my breath).

    NUMATS award winners will be announced in late April to early May. Hold your breath for that if you like.
