Score Statistics
In mathematical problem solving competitions, it is normal for your score to be lower compared to a typical school exam due to the level of difficulty of the questions. The median scores are often well below half the maximum points available for the competition. This is the case for the CLMC this year, so we suggest you compare yourself to your peers through percentiles rather than the maximum possible points. The following tables should give you a good indication of your score compared to your peers:
| Div. | Grade | Top Score /80 | Top Decile /80 | Top Quartile /80 | Median Score /80 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
