everybody's saying the questions in challenge math are about the level of the first 15 questions on AMC10 so if you're on AOPS you can easily ace it. btw, i go on AOPS too :P

no reference table

so if there is no reference table would they ask me questions about things like and expect me to know the equations:
Heat of fusion
Heat capacity of h20
d=m/v
combined gas law


also we can bring our ti-83's right? (and use them)

On the site, as well as in the e-mail, it says no calculators will be permitted in the exam room.

"To any aopsers out there who've taken it, what number range would the math problems correspond to on AMC 10? Any AIME-level?"

From past experience, it's not quite at AIME level (to me last year, the questions were much easier).

My advice to you is to know your probability. I swear, there'll be at least 3 or 4 questions in the challenge section pertaining to probability.

About how many questions in the science section pertained to Chemistry and Biology? I didn't take the exam today, so I'm curious :\
