Gold content in the winning level of the USA Tournament: On the whole, the winning level of most students is basically S Award and H Award, but it is only a successful entry, which is of little significance. The s prize and the h prize have almost no gold content. The reason is that the winning proportion is too high, and the winning difficulty does not match the corresponding prize level.

1, S Award: Successful Entry Award

The literal translation of successful contestants is the "Successful Entry Award", but the translation in China is the third prize. The proportion of S prize and above is almost 100%. As long as you successfully submit a paper that does not deviate from the topic, you will definitely get the S prize.

There are very few teams that can't even get the S prize every year, and sometimes they can't even get it.

Official data show that:

202 1, MCM has 64% S, ICM has 69% s.

In 2020, MCM will have 65% S and ICM will have 64% S.

20 19 American MCM has 68% s and ICM has 66% s.

20 18 American MCM has 54% s and ICM has 47% s.

20 17 American MCM has 49% s and ICM has 52% s.

20 16 American MCM has 55% s and ICM has 33% s.

2.h Award: Honorary nomination award

The translation of the honorary prize in China is the second prize, and literal translation should be the honorary nomination prize. From common sense, the honor award should be the team that didn't get the official ranking in the competition.

For example, ACM regionals are divided into gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals and bronze medals, and that's honor. But in China, the honor prize of American College Model Contest is considered as the second prize. In the formal review, as long as you pass the abstract, you will win at least one H prize.

Take an extreme example: as long as you write the abstract carefully, even if the text is written casually, as long as the whole looks a little (the structure and formula of the article are neat and beautiful, and the chart looks ok), you can basically get an H.

3.m Prize: The winning proportion exceeds 10%.

The gold content of the M prize is different, but it is still not worthy of the gold content of the "National First Prize" on the whole.

Compared with the national competition of mathematical modeling, the proportion of national first prize+national second prize is only 8%, while the proportion of M has exceeded 10%. There are usually hundreds of teams in the M prize, and the level of these hundreds of papers is actually very different.

Some M-prize papers have actually reached the level of F and O, but because the places of F and O are too limited, we have to give an M-prize. And more M-prize papers are better than H-prize papers, but there are more papers at the bottom.

But the contestants don't know this, they only know that they have won the M prize.

4.f prize and o prize: it is very difficult to win the prize.

The ratio of F prize to O prize is very low, which is very difficult and valuable in the circle of mathematical modeling, but it is also limited to the circle of mathematical modeling competition.

Finliast's translation is a grand prize finalist, and O-prize translation is a grand prize. For each topic, the F prize and the O prize have only single digits.
