Math Competitions (High School)

[QUOTE="geosynchronous, post: 5449107, member: 589634"] Using these competitions as a test for students' math ability seems unusual. In my high school, we were encouraged but not required to take the test, and got a couple extra credit points if we did well on them, but that was it. There was no mention of them in regards to college admissions at all. I don't think colleges could see my scores and I didn't mention them on the application. Does your school offer any incentives to do well on these tests, like placement into a higher math class? We didn't have any kind of extra preparation for the competitions beyond what was covered normally in math class. Do your math classes cover any of the tricks you can use to get better at them?
