CMSC 2020 Testimonials

“The CMSC tests were very similar to the difficulty of PurpleComet, AMC, and other high-standard math competitions combined that I have attempted in the past. Overall, the tests themselves encouraged me to think fast and effectively, because there were 25 questions, and only 45 minutes to answer all of them and review your answers as well. I really liked the format of the tests and it helped me develop strategies. "

"Every week I used to eagerly look forward to Mondays so that I could take the new math contest for that week. I used to do them first thing in the morning as they challenged me in a fun way and were a great way to start off the day. The best part of these tests was that they focused on learning new things than marks."

"The CMSC tests this summer were a great experience to grow and develop new math skills. The tests were an excellent exposure to various concepts in math. Some of the questions were tricky and challenging, but a firm grasp of the concept allowed anyone to have a fair chance of doing well and learning something new. Also, the training sessions attached to each lesson were really great; they were helpful resources in terms of learning something entirely new and brushing up on older skills."

"Thank you to CK STEM for helping me with not just math, but in life. The strategies to keep me focused on my goal in math can also help me in other aspects of life such as a job or in escape rooms. The tests also helped me to actually practice those strategies in real life and not just in concept. So I thank you again for allowing me to participate in the CMSC contest and teaching me so much."

"CSMC is a fun and interactive way to enjoy learning math! Their competitions and work videos are extremely helpful and can help engage everyone. CSMC allows everyone to learn, practice, and develop useful skills. Writing the CK STEM competition was a great way to spend my summer. All the 5 sensational competitions have allowed me to stand out and I owe it all to CK STEM."

"CMSC was much different from other math competitive tests that I have written in the past. It gave me the opportunity to retry a problem so I could learn from it properly. The test was very engaging and it definitely gave me the confidence to do well in other math tests as well. Overall, the test was really fun and interesting and I hope to do it again next year!"

"The summer CMSC tests is a great initiative to give opportunity to all students to test their skills and it is a new platform to enhance their inner strength in the various streams in the field of math. Thank you all behind this program to make it happen during COVID-19 giving us an opportunity to learn."

"It's a very cool program free of cost, especially since most of us kids are cooped up inside with not much to do during quarantine. Spending 45 minutes a week on these math tests as well as attending the weekly training sessions helps challenge us and sharpen the brain. This also helps us learn new concepts and get prepared for the next grade."

"I learned a lot over the summer due to CMSC. The training sessions taught me how to connect things and use different strategies for problem solving. The practice questions helped me build speed and really understand a concept. Since, this contest lasted over 6 weeks, I was able to build my strengths and get deeper in my passion for math. It was a lot of fun and I truly thank the CK STEM team for putting this together. I can’t wait for the next contest!"
