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.

The teachers will be there for you every step of the way - they are the most compassionate and smartest people you will meet. I have had the pleasure of working with Ashiof working with Ashish and Prashansa. Their teaching methods have allowed me to achieve an ACT score that I had previously only dreamt of. Although I have never been to the tutoring center or met the teachers in person (I am an International student), I could tell from our google meets calls that they are truly genuine and passionate about teaching. Outside of class, they quickly responded to my questions through whatsapp and tried their best to arrange extra classes.Tutela's service is truly one of a kind. With them, the sky's the limit.
