[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stumbled into this thread and am curious how the AMC process works. Is this something that is done through school or totally separate? My DC is the top math student at their AAP center school without much effort, and genuinely loves math. I’m wondering if we need to start seeking more challenging math elsewhere but am a bit overwhelmed with where to start and how the AMC stuff works. Appreciate any advice.[/quote]

AMC 10 (10th graders and below) and AMC 12 (12th grade and below) are national , incredibly prestigious contests that happen each year. Top 5-10% are chosen to take round 2, the American invitational math exam. This is the goal for many students. Qualification is an amazing achievement, especially for underclassmen. Qualification for the Third round is much more difficult. It is the usamo/usajmo, and qualifying is enough to single-handedly influence a college application decision to all but the most competitive schools (HYPSM). Top 0.3%ish each year qualify for round 3. Most schools host amc, but if yours doesn’t, you can contact neighboring schools. Like OP mentioned, a good tutor is incredibly helpful if you want to maximize your chances[/quote]
