AMC (American Mathematics Competitions) is the most prestigious math competition in the United States organized by MAA (Mathematical Association of America). It serves as the qualifying exam to sort representatives for the U.S international Math Olympiad team.
AMC is highly rated globally for its innovative approach to fundamental mathematical concepts and problem-solving techniques.
Winning or achieving a high score in AMC is recognized by top universities like MIT and Caltech,
as they have specific sections on their college applications where applicants can list their AMC achievements.
As such, an AMC award can provide an advantage in college admissions.
AMC 's goal and history
The AMC (American Mathematics Competitions), the most prestigious math competition in the United States, was first held on May 11, 1950, by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) at Metropolitan New York Chapter. The initial competition was successfully held, over 238 schools and 6,000 students participating just in New York. Over the 55 years since its inception, the competition has grown significantly. By February 2005, over 220,000 students from 5,100 schools participated in the AMC 10/AMC 12 competition, marking a significant milestone in its history.
AMC Level & Camp
AMC(American Mathematics Competitions) consists of several types of exams designed to match students' levels and the difficulty of the tests. The competition is structured into five stages, followed by two stages of camps (MOSP, IMO). These stages include: AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competitions 8) AMC 10 (American Mathematics Competitions 10) AMC 12 (American Mathematics Competitions 12) AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) USAMO (United States of America Mathematical Olympiad) MOSP (Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program)
The King's Academy annually hold test prepartion classes for AMC 8,10,12, AIME These classes are held by our experienced teachers, including teachers from private school math ccompetition clubs, and renowned instructors from prestigious academies in Gangnam.
