[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  I still need time to check about various suggestions, thanks.  Coincidentally, a few days ago, we noticed that we can sign up for AMC8 test at School, so DC did.  We checked the AMC8 questions of 2023 last night, and found a few Qs are very difficult.  It seems average score is 10 out of 25.  We also noticed that the AMC8 questions are: no real algebra question, no much geometry questions, exponents are also not much asked or very easy one only.  So, I am guessing that the later half of intro books are high school math, and not asked in AMC8.  When we are doing intro books, about the first half is relatively easy going, and the later half takes time.

So, it seems we don't need to buy and go through any AMC8 prep book.

If DC can consistently score greater than 20 on the AMC8, then they should try the AMC10. [/quote]

With the caveat that the contests have an artificially tight time limit, for competitive purposes, so as long as you can solve 20 problems untimed, you are ready to move on to more advanced material. [/quote]
