About American Mathematics Competitions
The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) are the first of a series of competitions in secondary school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The selection process takes place over the course of roughly four stages. At the last stage, the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MOP), the United States coaches select six members to form the IMO team.

AMC 12 Scoring
The competitions are scored based on the number of questions answered correctly and the number of questions left blank. A student receives 6 points for each question answered correctly, 1.5 points for each question left blank, and 0 points for incorrect answers. Thus, a student who answers 24 correctly, leaves 1 blank and misses 0 gets 24 × 6 + 1.5 × 1= 145.5 points. The maximum possible score is 25 × 6 = 150 points; in 2020, the AMC 12 had a total of 18 perfect scores between its two administrations, and the AMC 10 also had 18.
Score reports will be emailed to CMs and added to CM’s AMC online accounts when answer sheets are scored. Note: If you do not receive your results via email within 30 days of administering the AMC 10/12A, please contact amcinfo@maa.org.
MAA AMC Study Guide / Books
There are many fine books to study. We suggest you start by looking through the Problem Books Section at the MAA Bookstore. Currently, the Contest Problem Books Volumes I – IX catalogue all the American Mathematics Competition problems from 1950 to 2007, and these books are a good place to start.
