AMC 8/10/12 Prep

Your child prepares for the AMC 8/10/12, math competitions run by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).

Students learn the core concepts of algebra, geometry, counting and probability, and number theory, and take timed 25-question practice tests.

Who this class is for

This class fits students who are currently taking math somewhere between Pre-Algebra and Pre-Calculus and are thinking about taking the AMC.

What your child studies for each contest

Topics on all three contests (AMC 8, 10, and 12) and the extra topics on the AMC 12
  • Contest: Topics on all three contests (AMC 8, 10, and 12)

    Topics your child studies: Algebra, geometry, counting and probability, and number theory

  • Contest: Extra topics on the AMC 12

    Topics your child studies: Advanced algebra, analytic geometry, combinatorics, and Basic Calculus

Typical problems first, then a practice test

Steps in an AMC 8/10/12 Prep class: core concepts and typical problems, a practice test, then grading
  1. Step: Core concepts and typical problems

    At this step, your child: Learns the must-know concepts and solves typical contest problems.

  2. Step: Practice test

    At this step, your child: Takes a timed 25-question practice test.

  3. Step: Grading

    At this step, your child: Goes over the graded test to see which problems they got right and which they got wrong.

Go over every solution and mistake

After grading, the instructor walks through the solution to each problem on the practice test. See how parents get progress updates

Finding out why answers were wrong

For each problem they got wrong, your child finds the cause and writes it down.
