Mathus Academy conducts two tests during the month of March every year - MathGenius Critical Thinking National Contest (MG for short) for 1st - 8th grade children and MathCore Common Core Prep Test (MC for short) for 3rd - 8th grade children. MG, as the name suggests, will have Critical Thinking questions that focus on problem solving. It is a National Contest with cash prizes and medals and certificates for the top rankers. MC is purely a prep test for the standardized school tests. It is not contest. Grades will be provided, but there won't be any ranking as the goal of MC is purely preparation for standardized school tests).
