General rules for all tests (to be read to the students prior to the first test)

• If you are not an authorized student, chaperone, coach, or mathleague staff member for the contest(s) being conducted today, you must leave the meeting room now; we are committed to keeping our testing process secure and will remove anyone who is not supposed to be here
• Make sure your cell phones are put away and silent until the team portion(s) of the contest
• Keep your eyes on your own work station and do not talk to anyone or access any forbidden resources during the testing
• For online contests: Your browser window must be in full screen mode throughout each test, and you may not have a second screen active on your computer. During the test you may not exit full screen mode, access any other tabs or windows, or click anywhere outside the test page; the only thing that should be visible on your computer screen for the duration of each test is the test itself unless you are accessing the zoom window for purposes of raising your hand to get help.
• For online contests: Answers submitted through the online answer form will be considered official; we will only look at the emailed answer sheets in the event of a malfunction of the online submission form
• Unless otherwise specified, all answers must be exact, fully simplified, and in the format requested
• If your answer contains a fraction, put a forward slash between the numerator and denominator (example 3/2); if your answer is a mixed number, put a space between the integer part and the fraction (example 1 1/2); if your answer is a decimal, put a decimal point between the integer part and the remainder (example 1.5); if your answer is a negative number, put the negative sign in front of the first numeral of your answer (example -1 1/2).
• All answers that are not multiple choice will be rational numbers; do not write any extraneous units, commas, letters, symbols or spaces, because any of these will cause your answer to be counted incorrect
