No room for AMC score on online app...

<p>The space for AMC score on the online app only allows for three characters...yet my score has a decimal: XXX.5---Should I round up or down?</p>

<p>I know this is pretty unimportant, but I thought one of you might be able to give some guidance.</p>

<p>Always round to even</p>

3

<p>huh? what does that mean?</p>

4

<p>I'm guessing Falcon means to round to the nearest even number... but I don't really understand why. I would say to just round up, personally.</p>

5

<p>My son rounded down - of course his score wasn't high enough to really matter.</p>

6

<p>Heh, it's probably higher than my score. I scored lower last year than I did the year before... :rolleyes:</p>

7

<p>I couldn't find my score. I remembered it being either 103 or 100.5 or something so I just put 100 and noted that I had no idea if that was correct. I figured, that's like the difference between a 72 and 73 on a test so whatever! It's not very impressive either way so I didn't think too hard about it.</p>

8

<p>I don't remember what I got exactly, so I just put 113 and 112 for the two spaces--I'm not even sure if it's possible to get those scores. I think my AIME scores are more important. if it's .5, you can round up.</p>

<p>It will be if they read yours after my triumphant 91!</p>

10

<p>please, I was soo souped (triumphant, actually) that I got the highest amc score in our school.. until I remembered that only one other person took it. haha</p>

11

<p>haha, carmel, that's like the time our band went to a marching competition and won second place... out of 2.</p>

12

<p>yay, kind of. I had the same problem (rounded up to 107...w/e) and lol, my school lost all of the AIME scores so I have no clue what I got!</p>

<p>My son contacted the folks who run AMC/AIME <a href="http://www.unl.edu/amc/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.unl.edu/amc/&lt;/a> and was able to get his scores. Took a few days, but he got an email back withthe numbers. Interestingly, while he took both AMC 10 and 12 last year, they only had his AMC 10 and AIME score. Maybe they only keep the score that qualified one in higher standing...because he scored high enough to qualify on AIME via both tests.</p>
