Hey folks! Do any of you know where I can find some really hard math problems to practice on? I'm trying to enhance my problem-solving skills and prepare for some STEM-related admissions tests. Preferably looking for a resource that also provides explanations or solutions so I can figure out where I went wrong in case I can't solve them.
Hello! You might want to look into a few options. First, try the College Board's SAT practice tests, even if you're not planning to take the SAT. They have a Math section with some challenging problems, and you can view detailed solution explanations online.
Additionally, the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) provides a wealth of challenging problems. This is really useful if you're aiming for a high score on math-heavy standardized tests. They also provide solutions so you can learn from your mistakes.
Lastly, consider using Khan Academy. Their site has a wide range of problems at all levels of difficulty, and they offer video explanations for each one. This is a particularly engaging way to improve problem-solving because you can actually watch someone solve the problem step-by-step and explain their thinking process.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your problem-solving journey.
