[quote=Anonymous]It's pretty simple. The AMC tests more advanced mathematical ability and a broader and deeper range of content than school does. It's literally an additional curriculum (including discrete math and number theory) that school doesn't teach until later in high school, college, or never. The problems are more diverse and less exactly like what is seen in practice. Also, the user group is biased toward higher level of talent. "Median" on AMC is like median on AP exams, not median for all high school students. Importantly, interest in this material is predictive of interest and success in math-heavy courses majors.
