I am an incoming 8th grader and I want to do some research in math for my high school years. I’ve gotten a 36 in ACT Math, 31 in ACT Reading, 30 in ACT , and 28 in ACT English. Please suggest a path.
What math are you in right now? The order I’d recommend to you at the moment (considering you had a perfect ACT Math score):
Algebra I Honors
Geometry Honors
Algebra II Honors
Pre-calculus Honors
AP Calculus BC
AP Statistics
I finished Geometry, but I know most of Algebra II.
Look into the following programs as you progress through high school:
Some of the most elite ones are listed below,

you could look into Mathcounts, AMC 8, AMC10 and AMC12. There are several other math competitions you could go into through Math club in your school and ultimately you could go participate in USAMO and other competitions. Art of Problem solving is great website for math resources and now they run a joint program called Crowdmath look into it you may like it.
