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).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

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 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.
