The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC), conducted by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), are a series of prestigious mathematics contests designed to identify, strengthen, and inspire problem-solving talent among middle and high school students.
The AMC series — AMC 8, AMC 10, and AMC 12 — encourages students to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and logical reasoning beyond their school curriculum. Success in the AMC can qualify students for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) and later, advanced competitions such as the USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).
| Level | Eligibility | No of Questions | Duration | Scoring | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMC 8 | Students in Grade 8 or below | 25 multiple-choice | 40 minutes | 1 point for each correct answer; no penalty for incorrect answers | Builds problem-solving interest and prepares students for AMC 10. |
| AMC 10 | Students in Grade 10 or below and under 17.5 years old | 25 multiple-choice | 75 minutes | 6 points for each correct, 1.5 for blank, 0 for incorrect | Qualifies top scorers for AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination). |
| AMC 12 | Students in Grade 12 or below and under 19.5 years old | 25 multiple-choice | 75 minutes | 6 points for each correct, 1.5 for blank, 0 for incorrect | Qualifies top scorers for AIME and then USAMO |

The AMC (American Mathematics Competitions) is a math contest series—AMC 8 for younger students, AMC 10 and AMC 12 for high schoolers—designed to strengthen problem-solving skills and advance students to higher-level competitions like AIME.
Both AMC 10 and AMC 12 are 25-question, 75-minute multiple-choice tests. Correct answers earn 6 points, blank answers earn 1.5, and incorrect responses score zero, with a maximum of 150 points.
Yes. A strong performance in the AMC shows advanced aptitude in mathematics, analytical thinking, and problem-solving — all sought after by selective universities, especially for STEM courses.
AMC 10 and AMC 12 are administered annually in November, typically as two versions (A and B) spaced one week apart. AMC 8 is held annually in January.
Start at least 6–8 months prior with a focus on mathematical concepts (not rote memorization). Use past AMC papers, build speed with timed drills, and address weak areas with personalized mentoring.

After I took my first ACT attempt in July 2020, I knew I wouldn't be able to increase my score myself. Hence, I reached out to Tutela immediately after my results were der my results were declared. Despite the fact that we were not having any offline classes, Tutela's online classes remained highly effective and productive. After following a structured plan and giving more than 20 Full-Length Tests on their online portal, I was finally able to get the score I desired. The teachers, too, are fantastic - they are always one text or call away and will ensure that your doubts are clarified. I strongly recommend Tutela as the one-stop destination for the ACT!

Understanding a few sections in Science was very challenging initially. But with classroom practice, I was able to overcome those challenges. Tutela's Online Practice Tes Online Practice Tests were very helpful as I took 15-20 tests before my exam as the software was very similar to the actual ACT. This made sure I was not flustered during the test. Read More

Tutela’s online classroom facilities are fantastic! I had been taking online classes for more than 3 months, but it never slowed down my progress in any way. The number any way. The number and pace of the classes were set according to my strengths and weaknesses, which made the learning process extremely efficient. The faculty is extremely resourceful when it comes to providing a variety of practise material and mock tests. But above all, their selfless commitment is what I appreciate the most. The teachers never hesitated to provide me with practise material even if I had not enrolled for a particular subject test. Indeed, Tutela has played a pivotal role in my success. Thank you Mukul, Ashish and Tutela for your support! Read More

La Martiniere Schoool, Kolkata, India
I think Tutela is one of its kind in the teaching space. Never have I come across a team of such dedicated teachers ready to help you at each step of the way. I went to Tthe way. I went to Tutela at the end of 10th grade for SAT. In just 3 months, my score shot up by approximately 140 points. I truly believe that Anam Ma’am teaches SAT writing and reading in the best and easiest manner possible. I would also like to thank Ashish sir who not only taught me the entire SAT Physics and SAT Math syllabus in a month but also voluntarily helped me with my Math HL IA. Mukul Sir is also a wonderful teacher who would always welcome my doubts. Thanks to their support, I was able to score exceedingly well on the tests. Tutela has a wonderful learning environment for you where you get to have one on one sessions with the teachers. Also, every single member of the team is so warm and friendly. Unlike many other SAT or IB prep centres, the environment at Tutela is very encouraging and positive. I loved spending time here! Read More

Despite all my classes being online, they were committed to helping me improve my SAT score through y SAT score through an abundance of personalized worksheets and drills. The practice was tailored specifically to cater to my weak spots, and even in a short span of time, my test-taking skills improved greatly. Many thanks to Tutela and to my teachers, Srishti and Prashansha. Read More

New English School, Kuwait
I had only a couple of weeks left for my SAT Physics Subject Test. The teacher was very accommodating of the time crunch that I had. Even with the minimal time, he was abimal time, he was able to teach all the topics thoroughly and effectively. By the end of the course, I actually had time left for taking many practice tests. As for AP Physics, I started out with absolutely no prior knowledge of many topics. The teache, Mr. Ashish, was able to adjust his pace of teaching with my pace and understanding of topics. He gave plenty of examples to explain the concepts. I never felt that I was preparing for the test on my own. Whenever I needed help, I could ask my instructor and he would respond within minutes.

The informal, accepting atmosphere combined with the rigorous academic schedule at Tutela allowed me to successfully embrace the challenging standardized tests. The teachzed tests. The teachers, who communicated not only syllabus but also test-taking skills, accommodated my learning style and worked around my other commitments. Walk into Tutela with the expectation that you will be guided and nurtured (and partake in loads of Marvel and Food-based conversations), not merely tutored. Read More
