    • Eligibility: 9th graders - 12th graders
    • Cash Prizes: No

    The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are both 25 question, 75 minute multiple-choice mathematics exams designed to promote the refinement of problem solving skills in high school student competitors. 

    The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are the first exams in a series of math exams that progress from the local, to the national, to the international level. Students who are top performers on the AMC 10 and AMC 12 will be eligible for invitations to the next, more difficult exams in the AMC series (we’ll talk more about that in a second). 

    The AMC 10 covers the U.S. high school curriculum up to 10th grade and is for students in 10th grade and below or under 17.5 years of age. The AMC 12 covers the entire high school math curriculum including trigonometry, advanced algebra, and advanced geometry, but does not include calculus. Students in grade 12 or below and under 19.5 years of age on the day of the contest can take the AMC 12.

    While the AMC 10 and AMC 12 exams don’t have scholarships of their own, taking the AMC 10/12 is a crucial step toward eligibility for other math competitions and scholarships. If you have any interest in being considered for more difficult invitational math competitions (with bigger prizes!), it’s important that you take an official AMC 10 and AMC 12 exam as an initial step.
