INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION


General

1.  Do not open the booklet until told to do so by your teacher.
2.  You may use any teaching aids normally available in your classroom, such as MAB blocks, counters, currency, calculators, play money etc. You are allowed to work on scrap paper and teachers may explain the meaning of words in the paper. Mobile phones are not permitted.
3. Diagrams are NOT drawn to scale. They are intended only as aids.
4. There are 25 multiple-choice questions, each requiring a single answer, and 5 questions that require a whole number answer between 0 and 999. The questions generally get harder as you work through the paper. There is no penalty for an incorrect response.
5. This is a competition not a test; do not expect to answer all questions. You are only competing against your own year in your own country/Australian state so different years doing the same paper are not compared.
6. Read the instructions on the answer sheet carefully. Ensure your name, school name and school year are entered. It is your responsibility to correctly code your answer sheet.
7. When your teacher gives the signal, begin working on the problems.

The answer sheet

1. Use only lead pencil.
2. Record your answers on the reverse of the answer sheet (not on the question paper) by FULLY colouring the circle matching your answer.
3. Your answer sheet will be scanned. The optical scanner will attempt to read all markings even if they are in the wrong places, so please be careful not to doodle or write anything extra on the answer sheet. If you want to change an answer or remove any marks, use a plastic eraser and be sure to remove all marks and smudges.

Integrity of the competition

The AMT reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official status to their score.

Reminder: You may sit this competition once, in one division only, or risk no score.
