The AMC 12 helps students develop their problem-solving abilities and serves as the first step in qualifying for prestigious international mathematics competitions, including the USA International Mathematical Olympiad.

Description:
The AMC 12 is a 25-question, 75-minute multiple-choice competition designed for students in grades 12 and below. It covers the full high school mathematics curriculum, including trigonometry, advanced algebra, and advanced geometry. Calculus is excluded.

The AMC 12 offers two versions of the test, the 'A' and 'B' competitions. Students can choose the date that best fits their schedule or participate in both for additional practice.

Registration and Pricing:

Competition Bundle Pricing: One “bundle” licenses ten students in the Competitions Portal. All AMC 12 bundles (regardless of A or B competitions) are $27. There is a discounted “A/B Double Bundle” that allows for ten student licenses for the A competition and ten student licenses for the B competition at a price of $50.

The AMC 10 is an excellent way for students to develop their problem-solving skills and serves as an entry point for those aspiring to compete in international mathematics competitions, such as the USA International Mathematical Olympiad.

Description:
The AMC 10 is a 25-question, 75-minute multiple-choice competition designed for students in grades 10 and below. The content covers mathematics typically taught in grades 9 and 10, including elementary algebra, basic geometry (such as the Pythagorean Theorem), area and volume formulas, elementary number theory, and elementary probability. Advanced topics like trigonometry, advanced algebra, and advanced geometry are excluded.

The AMC 10 offers two versions of the test, the 'A' and 'B' competitions. Students can choose the date that best fits their schedule or participate in both for additional practice.

The AMC 8 is a great way to introduce younger students to mathematical problem-solving beyond the standard school curriculum. Students who enjoy the AMC 8 may want to continue with the AMC 10 and AMC 12 in later years.

Description:
The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute competition designed for students in grade 8 and below. The competition focuses on middle school mathematics topics, including counting and probability, estimation, proportional reasoning, elementary geometry (including the Pythagorean Theorem), spatial visualization, and interpreting graphs and tables. Some of the later questions may touch on beginning algebra topics, such as linear or quadratic functions and coordinate geometry.
