Some parents may ask, what exactly is AMC? Why do American parents attach so much importance to AMC competitions?
AMC stands for American Mathematics Competitions, a mathematics competition sponsored by the American Mathematical Association. About 300,000 students participate in the competition every year. The AMC competition is very important in American universities, especially in applications for STEM majors (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), where almost everyone submits this score.
A number of top universities in the United States, such as MIT, Caltech, Yale, Brown, Carnegie Mellon, and Princeton, specifically remind students to submit AMC test scores on their university application forms:
- MIT Application Form
- CMU (Carnegie Mellon) Application Form
If a child qualifies for the AIME Invitational Competition in the AMC competition, it means that he or she has an excellent foundation in science and is fully qualified to participate in competitions in other subjects such as physics and chemistry.
With multiple awards in hand, the competitiveness of applying to top 30 universities will increase dramatically!
Greg Brockman, co-founder of OpenAI, is a perfect example of a true AMC beneficiary. He successfully entered the USAMO finals in high school and was admitted to Harvard and MIT with extra points.
The most important activity during middle school is to participate in the AMC (American Mathematics Competition).
Precisely because of the importance of AMC scores, the number of applicants has increased year by year. In 2024, a total of 139,000 students participated in the AMC 8 competition, and a total of 159,000 students participated in the AMC 10/12. The competition is getting more intense every year.
Tomorrow (January 22) is the official start date of the 2025 AMC 8 exam. Are the students taking the exam ready? Want to be the first to know the latest trends and score predictions for the 2025 AMC 8 exam? Want to know the future direction of the AMC 8 exam? Then don’t miss it:
