Thanks...
What is the highest score possible for each of the math UILs and Science UIL?
How do you grade each test?
what is a reasonable score to aim for?

I guess this signature really doesn't matter now that I know that the forum is going down soon...

Could you tell us which high school you're from? That would help in goal-setting for each test.

The LaTeX guide on the Art of Problem Solving website would be very useful: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki ... TeX:Basics
If you have questions about LaTeX, we would be glad to answer them.
What grade are you in?
Also, as for the "reasonable scores" question, it depends on several factors, such as your grade (seniors should do better than freshmen), your coursework (e.g. taken Calculus as opposed to taking Geometry), your school, and independent study. For a complete beginner, just making a positive score might be something to be happy about (especially for Number Sense, where many people do very badly to start.) If you don't reach the 100-150-150-150 threshold, don't worry. It comes with time, and eventually, with practice (unless you're a senior and have very little time) you have the potential to reach scores in the range of 350-300-300-300 (which is quite impressive, although beatable by the very best.)
If you have questions (and you will,) feel free to ask in the proper place on the forum. There are many things that you should know on these tests, that are very difficult to figure out independently. For example, there are many "tricks" or "shortcuts" on Number Sense, and in Calculator, a TI-89 and HP-32/33 is what you should aim for for your two calculators. Science is mainly self-explanatory.
Here is the Academics home UIL website: http://www.uiltexas.org/academics
Look at what is said for each contest in the "Academic Contests" tab.
Good luck!

UIL has both team and individual awards.
Waxahachie is in District 15-4A...looking at the 15-4A results from last year, Waxahachie is definitely present, and the scores needed to make region aren't that high. You need to find the UIL coach at your school...if you don't know who it is, the librarian is usually a good place to start.
