This kind of competition is much better. Wang will be representing the area in an upcoming competition for MathCounts, an after school club with which she's involved. The event, held in Madison, consists of three rounds of timed testing in which participants are awarded points. The first round, called the sprint round, consists of 30 questions that students have 40 minutes to answer. The second round, the target round, is four tests that are two questions each.
Participants have six minutes to finish each test.
The third test is the team test where students can work together in groups of four. There are 10 questions and they have 20 minutes to get them all done. To finish up the competition, there is a final round that takes the top 10 individual finishers and sets number 10 against number nine in a countdown round. The questions are flashed on a screen, and students have seconds to figure them out. The winner from number 10 against number nine will go against number eight and so on.
