Each year since 2005, [high school] students trying out for the Alabama ARML Team have competed in what has become known as the Alabama ARML Team Selection Test, administered during lunch at the Vestavia Hills High School Math Tournament in December. The test writer is MIST Academy Executive Director Mathew Crawford, who writes a complete solution guide each year to serve as a study guide for current and future team members.
The Alabama ARML TST consists of 15 highly challenging short-answer problems that students are given one hour to work on.
Past problems and complete solutions guides can be found here:
- The 2005 Alabama ARML team selection test (solutions)
- The 2006 Alabama ARML team selection test (solutions)
- The 2007 Alabama ARML team selection test (solutions) 2007 results
In 2005, the high score was 14. In 2006, the high score was 10. In 2007, the high score was 7. I promise to ease up on the problems in the future.
