Each fall I register Emory undergraduates interested in the VTRMC (late October) and/or the Putnam (first Saturday in December). I offer practice sessions to those interested, and I lend books for self-study.
Recent VTRMC exams and solutions are at the link above, and recent Putnam exams and solutions are at Kedlaya’s archive. I also maintain a notebook of resources for undergraduates interested in these exams. For each meeting I’ll collect any documents in a subdirectory below (the directory name is a date: MMDD).

Good luck! — Mic Grigni

Don’t you think the students who have the math background to compete in the Putnam already know how to get ready?
