2007 iTest: Closing Thoughts

As the 2007 iTest wraps up, here are some thoughts and announcements: (cross-posted on the iTest website, www.theitest.com)

1) Check the iTest Blog after the competition ends for the Answer Key, as well as on a regular basis for iTest organizational news and announcements.

2) The iTest CS, the new high school computer science competition, will take place in the Spring of next year. Once details are locked down, they will be made public on the iTest Blog. This will happen over the next couple of months.

3) Make sure your email address can receive emails from "theitest.com" domain. This may require checking with a school I.T. administrator at your school or within your school system. We've tried to correspond with multiple students and teachers but have received "failure notices" because our email was blocked. We don't generally try the email again if this happens.

4) Please email us with thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc. on this year's exam. If you have generally positive things to say, make sure you include your name, school, grade (or position, if a teacher) if you don't mind us using your quote down the line.

5) The results of the 2007 iTest will be announced on Thursday, November 1, at 7 PM Central...as part of our annual iTest Nationwide Awards Announcement.

6) The iTest National Rankings will be published for the first time on November 1 as well. These Rankings rank the best math students in the United States, and will be used to determine invitees to the 2008 iTest Tournament of Champions. As indicated in a previous post, the iTest Rankings Index will be determined by 2007 iTest score and 2008 AMC 12 score.
