Tryout #5 Links
Select your name and your password is your email address (i.e. xxx11@scasd.org). Each of the 4 links takes 10 minutes to complete, so be sure you have the full time to devote to each category before you open it. This is to be completed on your own and you may use a calculator. Remember everyone still competes in the competition no matter how they do on the tryout.

We are able to bring 12 students to our first competition. The school tryout will be in December. If you join Mathcounts, you should expect to do extra competition math independently for approximately one hour per night as well as attend practices (most likely in Room 226 at MNMS) on Friday afternoons from 4:00-6:00) beginning December through mid-March. It’s a lot of work, but an absolutely amazing experience! You can also check out the official Mathcounts website to learn more about this program.
