<p>What is Bucknell's Gold Exam?</p>

24

<p>the gold exam is a high school mathematics competition held for relatively local students at bucknell every march (during spring break, i believe). i doubt taking it helps much in admissions, but it is a good way to get mathematically inclined high school students on campus, which is good because the math depatrment here is fantastic.</p>

<p>i took the exam in 2000, 2001 and 2002 (and would have in 2003, but we couldnt find a teacher to take us).</p>
