I believe that I have gotten 73 marks on IMC this year (2022), although I feel that I haven’t done the best I could’ve as the paper was relatively easy compared to previous years. When I was year 9 I got a gold

I believe that I have gotten 61 marks on the imc this year (2022), although I feel that I haven’t done the best I could’ve this year (award wise) as I believe the grade boundaries will be decently high this year as it was a decently easy challenge, compared to previous years.

I think I got 89 but I can’t find the answers online. I marked mine via YouTube video they came out this here.
Now that I’ve seen the mark scheme, I can’t believe how many mistakes I made. What’s worse is that I was so confident about my answers while doing the challenge T-T at least I won’t have high expectations when we do get our marks.
I hope to get in Hamilton but I feel like the thresholds will be so high this year
Not sure if I should ask this here but, in Question 14, how come 0 isn’t considered an integer..?

edit: nvm I got why I got it wrong,, and it was such an easy question too.

When are boundaries released


end of feb
I’m sitting exactly on last years Hamilton boundary, so I am paranoid about the boundaries changing lmao.
I am rly annoyed cuz i think i could've got 120 but on Q23 i did it in like 30secs cuz i saw the trick to solve it quickly but then i realised 5 mins after i finished the paper that i only found the area of half the rectangle so i think i've got 112 and i'm nervous if the boundaries change that i wont get onto the hamilton olympiad

if you miss the boundary slightly, you can always ask your teacher to enter for a small fee
