The AMC10/12 competitions are coming up!
Please fill out this form if you’d like to compete.
The registration deadline is November 1st at 6pm ET.
The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are both 25-question, 75-minute, multiple choice examinations in high school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills. Complete info about the events is online here.
Not only are the competitions extremely fun, strong AMC scores can help you stand out during the college application process!
The AMC10A and AMC12A competitions will be given on Thursday, November 10th from 9:45 to 11:15am. [Competitors will miss A period and the first bit of B period.]

Senior Ji Soo Hwang was one of the top 5 scoring young women in all of New England on the AMC12B!
By virtue of her top 5 finish, Ji Soo was awarded an Akamai AMC12B certificate “in honor of [her] performance on the AMC 12B exam.”
Ji Soo’s AMC 12B score also propelled her to the USA Math Olympiad!
Congratulations Ji Soo!
By virtue of her 249 index score (AMC12A + 10*AIME score), Ji Soo Hwang ’21 has qualified for the highly selective USA Math Olympiad!
The 2021 USAMO is a two-day event. Each day (April 13th and 14th), Ji Soo will be working on 3 different problems for 4.5 hours.
The top scorers on the USAMO go on to participate in the Math Olympiad Program, a summer program at Carnegie Mellon University. The main purpose of MOP, held since 1974, is to select and train the six members of the U.S. team for the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Good luck Ji Soo!
