More Meet 1 exams dating back to 2009-10 may be found in the MNJHML site test archives: mnjhml.com/test-prep/test-archives. To practice:
- Start with the most recent exam and work your way backwards. Get ready, with pencil(s), an eraser, and a ruler (but no calculator). Try to arrange with those at home so that you will not be interrupted.
- Take Event A. Time yourself. After 10 minutes, note your answers so far (maybe by circling your answers). Keep going and solve as many as you can, and note your final answers (maybe by boxing your answers).
- Take a short break, maybe five or ten minutes.
- Take Event B in the same way. Time yourself. After 10 minutes, note your answers so far (maybe by circling your answers). Keep going and solve as many as you can, and note your final answers (maybe by boxing your answers).
- Review the answers for Events A and B. Take a longer break. Maybe until tomorrow.
- Take the Team Event, by yourself or with one or more friends. A six-person team gets 20 minutes, so if you do it alone, it might take a while, even an hour. But still time yourself, to see how you do.
- Review the Team Event answers.
