Receiving Scores

AwesomeToad

I sent my solutions to USAMTS and got it postmarked at 8:00 AM Oct. 13, 2009

I see a check on the "My USAMTS" page, so my solutions were received.

However, I am a little worried. No problems have been graded yet.

Just wondering, usually, how long does the grading take?

Are they all uploaded at the same time? Or do you post the scores as you grade them?

They will all be posted at the same time. Not just scores, but commentary as well.

I sent in my solution by mail before the day it is due, but I haven't even received the check mark yet... is there something wrong?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I have my ID number on every page of the solution... so could there be another reason for that? My USAMTS ID number is 11825, so have the staff received the solution with this ID number? Thanks.

We have received it. Although it was mailed on time, we only received it this weekend.

Update: due to the unexpectedly large number of participants this year (up over 20% from last year), the grading is taking longer than expected. We are aiming for the week of Nov 16-20 for the Round 1 scores and comments to be available.

Please keep in mind that one of the unique features of the USAMTS is that you get written comments to your solutions, not just numeric scores, and this takes time.
