WOOT Testimonials
Since 2005, students preparing for the major high school Olympiads for math and science have chosen AoPS Online’s WOOT programs.
I enjoyed the classroom, the discussions, and the problems on the handouts. They were very creatively conceived, and I think WOOT instructors paid excellent attention to the discussion during online classes.
This course had a very impressive number of problems, all of which reinforced my understanding and/or took me beyond what we learned in class.
