I'm nervous (Math Competition)?!?
We did this test a week before the competition (our school was late) and my whole grade had to do it. People who got scores above 15 were above average and I was one of them. She narrowed it down to 2 grade 8's and two grade 7's. To be honest, I had no idea what the heck was on the test and hardly understood it. I only got the easy ones right but I can't back out. Its tomorrow! I'm so nervous, cause my school has a record of being first and I dont wanna screw this up. Its 11:00pm and I'm nervous, I haven't even studied a bit.
But do you guys have any tips and how it will be like? Will it be individual or group work?

two 8th graders and two 7th graders, could be group work, but I would guess individual tests.
As for being worried about it, worrying doesn't make you do better on it. I've done plenty of math tournaments since 7th grade (11th grade right now), and honestly, a good night's sleep does better than trying to cram in a couple of extra formulas that you probably won't remember on the test.
If it does happen to involve group work though, just pick your problems that you can do and make sure you get them right. It sounds like you already sort of understood to do this from your description of how you did on the first test when you said "I only got the easy ones right". Use the same idea on this test. Do the ones you can. Check them and you might do better than the people who waste time trying to figure out the harder ones and making stupid mistakes on the easy ones.
Best of luck!

A BS in math skill you have taken approximately 60 % of the instructions needed for engineering classes and pc technological know-how classes, additionally accounting. If involved I recommend you get a BS in a sort of greater profession orientated tiers

Pretend you are the smartest person there and then you will do well. I got that from my psychology class, that if you tell a person or if you think that you're smart than you will do better.
