A significant portion of the proceeds from practice test fees directly supports the free Math Challenge Program, helping make math enrichment accessible to more students.
Which practice test level should my student(s) take?
The MCT practice test level corresponds to student's grade (regardless of whether or not the student is in accelerated learning program). For example, a grade 3 student (either in regular or accelerated learning) should take MCT practice level 3. For practice test, Division (I or II) is irrelevant because both Divisions use the same level test. Division only matters for the actual tournament and it is being used to categorized students level of competitiveness (i.e. students in accelerated learning programs should register and compete in Division I and will be compared with other students in similar skill levels).
These downloadable practices are great for students to practice for an in-person tournament.
