AMC 8 - Interesting Statistics

As mentioned in an earlier blog, the 8th graders took the AMC 8 test in November.  The 7th grade took it as a practice for next year.  As a math person, the statistics are very interesting to me.  Click here for the details.  Below is a comparison of state results and CMS results.  Click here for the American Mathematics Competition home site.
