Some of you may have visited my site, AGMath.com. Last summer I put together some files I created for teaching in my middle school classroom in NC so that others could borrow/steal my stuff to practice math that was otherwise unavailable to them for free.

Since then, I have built the site to its now somewhat respectable form and I have reached a point where I need help continuing to grow a site that I hope supplements AoPS, especially for younger students who are not quite at the level of the typical AoPS regular.

I know many of you, and I know that you all write problems ... lots of problems. If you have something you would like to share with the greater math community ... preferably something in Word or PDF form, I would love to post it on a new page of my site, appropriately called "Submit Content" http://www.agmath.com/169763.html (I'll think of something better once I actually get some content submitted... any ideas?

If you have not seen my site already, have a look ... there is a lot there including a book I just completed on math competition preparation.

If you would like to contribute, I would love your submission! Instructions are included on the linked page above and there is a template (relatively challenging) Warm-Up that I wrote this morning for anyone interested in solving some problems.

Edit: I think the Word template is working now.

One taker so far... thanks to Max Schindler for submitting a very tough team round (found at the bottom of this page if you are interested: http://www.agmath.com/169763.html... one solution is not given and seems brutal). Thanks to those who IM'd me with leads to more student-created practice sets.

Here's a collection of mock tests that I've accumulated during MATHCOUNTS...(all have been posted on AoPS before so there shouldn't be permission issues if you just provide a link to this thread).

Of course, not all of them have answers, but they're still good practice...

Wow. This is incredibly useful. Mock MC Tests are awesome! I downloaded all of them. Is there a way I can create my own Mock MC Test?

[jerry125]

Wow, thanks for sharing this! This should be useful for people (like me) who have done and redone all of the real mathcounts tests, and want more things to practice from.

[jbatterson]

Thank you very much math154... I will see if I can track down permission, but I suspect you are right that few will mind having their mock competitions shared. I will try to post ones with solutions and create missing keys when I have time. Some of these are great!

If you authored one of the above, please let me know if I can post it on agmath.com (or let me know if you would prefer I didn't).

Mine is under the name "Victor's Mock Team" or something like that; feel free to post it, but a lot of the questions are too bashy and in my opinion don't particularly resemble MATHCOUNTS problems...

[jbatterson]

I was about to PM you ... I was pretty sure that was who you were. Thanks.

Do you accept rounds made by 2 people?

[jbatterson]

^ Absolutely... any materials that would be helpful to others studying for competitions up to MC Nats and AMC10+ level.

If it looks good, I will try to post it... thanks for everything that people have contributed, I am a little overwhelmed today sifting through what can/should be posted and what may not be ready yet.

What level are these Mathcounts Competitions supposed to simulate:
school, chapter, state, or nationals?

[jbatterson]

Most of what I have received has been pretty hard ... but don't worry too much about the level of difficulty, most sets will have some problems that you can do and others that are too difficult (for most of us, myself included). I haven't had time to look to carefully, but at first glance most appear to be state-level.
