My DS was registered under Open Cat, I just bought him past 4 years tests papers with solutions and he went through himself & was ready to take the test. In fact, he was quite confident that he should be able to get 24/25 questions right, he said it's easier than the AMPOS that he took earlier this year. That's why I think maybe my DS2 take try it, probably next year.

thanks[/quote]I just signed him up via Maths Oasis under Open Cat, no need to go for training, esp if your kid has maths olympiad training before.

Hi 8228, your DS went for AMC 8 or AMC 10 ? I think AMC 8 it is for P5 & P6, can students below P5 take the test too ?

Maths Oasis invites you to participate in the 27th American Mathematics Contest 8 (AMC that will be held in Singapore on 15 Nov 2011.

This contest is suitable for students from

P4-6

I bought them together when I signed DS up for AMC 8, it's in the registration form, then they posted it to me.
