The 2015 AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competitions 8) was held on November 17th, 2015. This is one of the biggest math competitions in America. This year’s AMC 8 was much more difficult than that of the previous years. The AMC 8 has a total score of 25. Two of our students were among 76 National Winners (Perfect Scorers): Richard Z. and DongYun S. Ten of our students received National Distinguished Honor Roll Certificates awarded to top 1% test takers, and eleven of our students received National Honor Roll Certificates awarded to top 5% test takers. Furthermore, four students of our in grade 6 or under received National Achievement Roll Certificates. Srihan K., a 5th grader, got a 21 out of 25 which is very impressive.

In 2015, there were 27 students in grades 3-8 who attended our AMC 8 Prep or AMC 10/12 Prep Classes, including One-on-One Private Coaching and Small Group (4-10 students) Classes. All of them attended the AMC 8 contest on November 17, 2015, and their average score is 19.67. Remarkably, 24 students received National Certificates for the Mathematical Associations of America. Table 1 shows a full list of our top students.

Table 1: Notable Achievements of Our Students on the 2015 AMC 8 Contest

14,9122 students worldwide participated in the 2015 AMC 8 contest from over 2,000 schools. In the USA, 113,628 students participated, and the overall national average score is 8.18 out of a maximum of 25. In Maryland, 1,155 students participated and the overall state average score is 9.97. In Virginia, 6,261 students took and the overall state average score is 8.22. In Washington, D.C., 426 students attended and the overall state average score is 6.83.

All our students achieved a score that is much higher than the Maryland/Virginia/D.C. and national average.

There is a total of 76 students in America with a perfect score. 2 of them are from our center. If our Center is a state, our number of perfect scores would have let us beat New York, Ohio, and Florida. Each of these states has only one perfect scorer. Table 2 demonstrates a complete list of the number of students who achieved a perfect score in each state.
