The results of the 53rd annual AMC12 Examination (formerly, the AHSME), administered on Tuesday, February 12, 2002, and February 27, 2002 have been announced. The first administration, form A and the second administration, form B are collated together for the team standings, which explains why Walter Williams High is listed twice. Students in grades 12 and below are eligible to participate. This year, students in grades 6 through 10 had the chance to participate in the AMC10 Contest on the same day as the AMC12. In North Carolina 130 schools and more than 6000 students participated in the competition.The listing below is now official.

The ranking is determined by the sum of the top three scores on the AMC12 except for the Jr./Middle competition that is the sum of the top three scores on the AMC10. All six of these schools will receive a beautiful Walnut AMC plaque.

Special congratulations to the six North Carolina United State mathematical Olympiad qualifiers, Justin Lo, Chapel Hill High; Anders Kaseorg, Charlotte Home Educators Association; Paul Huang, Durham School Of The Arts; John Shoun, Durham School Of The Arts; Morgan Brown, NC School Science & Math; Larry Wise, R J Reynolds High. The six have all been invited to take the USAMO in Boston, May 9-12 at no expense. The USAMO is sponsored by the Akamai Foundation.

We are pleased to report that North Carolina had two Edith M. Sliffe award winners at the high school level in 2000 and 2001. They are Daniel Teague, North Carolina School Sci & Math, Durham and Ms. Susan Nelson, Chapel Hill High School, Chapel Hill. North Carolina also had a winner at the middle school level, Kim Hong Li, Ligon GT Magnet Middle School in Raleigh.

We are excited about the new policy that allows students who cannot participate in the first administration to later take another official contest. The AMC10A and AMC12A were administered on Tuesday, Feb 12, 2002. Fifteen days later, on Wednesday, Feb. 27 the AMC10B and AMC12B were administered. AMC10A students could qualify for the American Invitational math Exam, March 27 and April 9 by scoring at least 115. The qualifying score for the AMC10B is 118. More than 2500 NC students participated, and 28 achieved the threshold score of 115 to qualify for the AIME. Twelve students qualified for the AIME on the AMC10B by scoring at least 118. On the AMC12A and 12B, a total of 288 students qualified. This list includes a few dual qualifiers.
