Practice Mock Test Instructions

We take great pleasure in welcoming you to our PracticeCompetition.com site.

Please read this quick overview of the practice mock test format before starting the test. We tried to mimic as closely as possible to the real test starting with the Sprint round followed by the Target round then onto the results page to view the score and to either Retake the test or Check the answers.

In order to get the full benefit of the mock test, you should be prepared to take both the Sprint and Target rounds consecutively so please set aside at least 80 minutes before starting the test.

First, you will be presented with the Sprint round with 30 problems on it. You will have the option to click and view any problems from the quick access buttons on the screen and can answer them in whichever order you prefer.

All the problems are numbered within a circle in the quick access panel and by default they are all in grey circles; when an answer is filled they will turn to blue circles so this way you can quickly take the cue from the color of the circle whether it has been answered or not. Calculators are not allowed during the Sprint round.

How to enter your answers?

You should enter a single number in each blank. Numbers entered in a blank can be whole numbers, negative numbers, decimals, or multiples of $\pi$. To type $\pi$, you should write “pi”. Units are already provided for you next to each blanks when necessary.

For example

All answers must be expressed in simplest form. If you are not familiar with Mathcounts contests, view more details on correct forms of answers here.

Remember, the more you practice the better your skills and confidence level will be. So, give your best shot and make sure to retake the test as many times as needed to crack the problems on your own before giving up to check the answers.

Instead, we designed this mock exam by carefully analyzing past Mathcounts exams, and using our own experience from preparing for Mathcounts and several other competition math tournaments over the course of the past 7 years.
