Q. What is the best way to select our team?
A. An ideal team for the iTest will consist of 5 bright students with diverse mathematics knowledge. Because the iTest does not cover calculus (see list of topics below), the best team may not necessarily be the one with the most mathematically advanced students. The iTest is designed to test and reward creative mathematical thinking.
Q. So, what topics will be covered on the iTest exactly?
A. The iTest assumes participating students have a comprehensive knowledge of traditional geometry, algebra II, and pre-calculus topics. Additionally, history of math, logic, probability, and other topics seen on traditional high school competitive math exams may be included.
