@placidmacaw-0 @TSS-Graviser You are both right; the weekly challenges do seem harder than the course questions, and, also, don't worry about how long it takes you to get through a Day's worth of lessons. The goal is always to stretch your mind and learn to face new unexpected situations without giving up or panicking.
The weekly exams- Are designed to build upon the basics that the course teaches
- Have questions ranging from quite easy to extremely hard, which allows everyone room to grow, no matter their level
- Often include twists on the basic ideas that you see in the course
- Were written based on input from our talented curriculum developers, many of whom were nationally-ranked in math competitions (hence why they are interesting and yet very hard)
- Are continually evolving, so you might see that the difficulty level changes adjusts over time
In comparing your scores on our weekly exams, we recommend likening these to scores you might get on the AMC 8 or AMC 10. The average AMC 8 score was 9.43 out of 25 points total, and the top 25% score was just 12 points (equivalent to getting less than half, or failing). Contest math is meant to be so hard that even a "bad" score is actually really good!

@placidmacaw-0 Hello!
Thanks for writing. For some reason the system says you have two retakes remaining, that you took the exam twice on March 3 (yesterday). However, for good measure, I still added some more retakes for you. I'd be more than happy to give you more advice on the exam questions that you had trouble with. This should be done over email, as we like to keep exam scores and solutions private.

ok, thanks!!!

Oh I'm Chinese too and it's a pretty cool place. Hope you guys are safe out there. Also I don't think Po is going to China.
-
yeah and he's going to Australia for the Livestream.
How brave! -
How do you speak English so well? How much do they teach in China?
-
I lived in New Zealand for a couple of years

That's a lot of places.

How do I get reputations?
-
Oh someone else has to upvote your post. Like right now I'll upvote your last post and you will gain reputation. If I downvote it you get negative reputation or you lose reputation. If you get 3 I think you can send messages faster.
-
Thanks for the upvotes!
-
Why can't I get the module 1 through 6 demo pack?
