Practices
What are practices for?
We hold practices for each division in the Florida MAØ competitions: Statistics, Mu (Calculus), Alpha (Pre-Calculus), and Theta (Algebra II). We also hold practices to prepare for the AMC/AIME tests. You do not need to be enrolled in any of the competition classes in order to attend the practices, they are open to anyone who is interested in participating in these competitions.
Is it mandatory to attend practices?
If you are a part of any of the competition classes, you must attend the practice that corresponds to your division. For all other members, you are welcome to attend, but it is not mandatory. AMC/AIME practices are not mandatory for any members, but we highly encourage you to attend them if you plan on taking the AMC/AIME tests.
