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.

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 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

I started SAT preparation with Tutela a few months before my exam, and during the time when I prepared, I learnt a lot of tips and tricks that were essential to crack the exam. Tutela's endless resources and personalised classes, along with the paper reviewing sessions, really force you to stop making mistakes and propel you to the score that will get you into your dream school. For someone who is not good at self studying for an exam this vast and important, I would recommend at least trying it out- the difference in your scores and your confidence is definitely worth it!

I attended Tutela for about 3 months. Their welcome was very positive and they take every student as a challenge, working hard on their weaknesses. They pushed us to score better not by completing the curriculum early, but by making us understand the concepts. The teachers are devoted and they helped me at every step. They worked with me and guided me through the new online format. Due to their dedication, I was able to prepare for the December attempt in such a short time and get a good score. I’m thankful to everyone at Tutela for their support. Read More
