  • (1888PressRelease) October 27, 2010 - Walnut Creek, CA - Walnut Creek's Apex College Prep has some of the best middle-school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by their recent performance in the 2010 Fall Startup Event, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (http://www.natassessment.com).

    Coach Jason Yi prepared students for the first major competition of the academic year, in which students worked furiously for thirty minutes, racing to answer one hundred problems in a variety of mathematical topics. With so many questions and so little time, competitors must not only have strong mathematical skills, but also be able to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip.

    After results from students across the nation were processed, several Apex College Prep students received awards in the Middle School division. Jiheum Yeom placed 12th, Eugene Gil was 20th, and Jackie An finished in 23rd place. Apex College Prep will next be participating in National Assessment & Testing's 2010 Ciphering Time Trials on December 9th.

    National Assessment & Testing administers high-quality mathematics competitions that high schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests cover a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, as well as a variety of difficulties, from one hundred easy problems in thirty minutes to fifteen complex problems in one week.
