- SamReidHughes 6y agoThe first is from a table of percentiles published by the College Board, I remembered that statistic off-hand, I think you find it by googling, or on their website. The second is something you can find somewhere, I know I've seen the raw data at some point. Some googling will at least find articles referring to that ratio, like this one: https://economics.mit.edu/files/7598 https://economics.mit.edu/files/7598 Interestingly enough, that has a graph of the AMC math contest breakdown by sex. Check out page 7 (page number 115). When you start getting in the upper percentiles there I think that culture might magnify the male/female ratio a bit (this is based on personal experience), but at least in my high school the center mass of the scores up to 100+ or so was filled out by teachers just signing up a bunch of good students with no particular involvement in mathematical extracurriculars.
