Common card · No. 394081

The American Mathematics Competitions (AMCs) are the first of a series of competitions in secondary school mathematics sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) that determine the United States of America's team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The selection process takes place over the course of roughly five stages. At the last stage, the US selects six members to form the IMO team. There are three AMC competitions held each year: the AMC 8, for students under the age of 14.5 and in grades 8 and below the AMC 10, for students under the age of 17.5 and in grades 10 and below the AMC 12, for students under the age of 19.5 and in grades 12 and below The AMC 8 tests mathematics through the 8th grade curriculum. Similarly, the AMC 10 and AMC 12 test mathematics through the 10th and 12th grade curriculum, respectively. Before the 1999-2000 academic year, the AMC 8 was known as the AJHSME (American Junior High School Mathematics Examination), and the AMC 12...
