V. Participation Rules & Eligibility

  The AHSME is to be given in each participating school on Tuesday, February 9, 1999, in a convenient 90-minute interval, preferably the first two morning periods.  All students taking the AHSME must do so during the same 90-minute interval.

Who is eligible to participate?

  1. Any student who is officially enrolled in high school, and is taking at least one course;
  2. Students in lower grade levels;
  3. Home school students (18 or under).
  TO RECEIVE OFFICIAL "TEAM" STATUS AND AWARDS, A SCHOOL MUST HAVE AT LEAST THREE PARTICIPANTS.  The team score for a school is the sum of its three highest student scores.  These students must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.A. or Canada.  The AHSME must be proctored by a faculty member of the participating school.

  The results of the AHSME are used to identify students with unusual mathematical ability.  To assure that this purpose is served, the Committee on the American Mathematics Competitions reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official states to individual or team scores.

  Re-examination will be requested when, after an inquiry, there is a reasonable basis to believe that scores have been obtained by extremely lucky guessing or dishonesty.  Official statues will not be granted if a student or school does not agree to a requested re-examination.  The Committee also reserves the right to disqualify all scores from a school if it is determined that the required security procedures were not followed.
