The American Mathematics Competitions are sponsored by the MAA and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The AMC 8 Exam, given to students in grade 8 and below, is a 25-question, 40-minute multiple-choice contest with no penalty for guessing. A studentŐs score is the number of problems correctly solved. The 2004 AMC 8 Exam was taken by 7818 students from 110 schools in Michigan on November 16, 2004. The overall Michigan average score was 9.22.
Perfect scores were achieved by three Michigan students, all eighth graders: Willa Chen, East Middle School in Plymouth; Kevin Chow, Smith Middle School in Troy; and Jennifer Xu, Smith Middle School in Troy. The Edyth May Sliffe Award recognizes the excellence of 50 exam managers whose students are most successful on the AMC 8. The 2004 recipients of the award in Michigan were Michael T. Aide, Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy in Saginaw and Roberta Masters, Smith Middle School in Troy.
