    You get money...for getting a C or better on a test...Not just you but everyone in the class...wtf? People at my school take that test but they get nothing more than the certificate and joy of passing the test and of course the ability to compete at the national ARML level I believe.

    It's not that hard. It's really is just a bunch of harder SAT math problems. Or 4-5 level difficulty Elite test questions (hagwon ftw).

    If I were you, I'd be practising now. Think of how many more Dr Grip tipped Busters you can buy with that money ._.

    practice, try past papers/problems, get advice from people who have done it before - the 'normal' preparation for any exam? xD isn't 75% mark in this test superrr hard to get? (coming from someone who's done maths olympiad kinda stuff in australia, sounds like an AMC (australian mathematics competition, run by westpac bank), except with all questions at last section difficulty (hardest section))

    its actually quite difficult and nothing that you can really study for. not so much of SAT style questions but they need some serious brain-wrecking and serious thinking.

    AMC is the American one or Australian one? IMO American one is much easier :) But yep like springfield said you can't really study for it, the things tested are probably out of your syllabus, at least for Singaporeans :)

    Except that it's probably not that hard, anyone who thinks math is hard is retarded. The problems solve themselves, that's the way math works.
