Olympiads and AMCs

<p>Maybe you should go back to the idea of doing it at your own school. It only costs $45. The big problem is finding a proctor. But it doesn’t have to be a math teacher. It could be almost anyone. If there is a teacher who has to stay after school for some other reason (detention monitor? coach? librarian?), they could proctor this by putting the 2-3 interested students in the back of some room for 75 minutes. What do they do when students have to make up an exam? They must have some precedent for sticking a few kids in some corner for a test. Or you could try to get something in your student newspaper about it, decrying the lack of support for academic excellence. Maybe someone at your school who you would never think of asking would step forward and volunteer. Or get your parents involved to exert pressure on your behalf.</p>
