American Mathematics Competitions 8



basics

    The AMC<8 Test is sponsored by American Mathematics Competitions. That group also runs a very popular test given to high school kids. The test is a twenty-five question test given during the school day in November. Although the test is multiple choice, very few students break 20. The contest is given all over the world, so when it has concluded, global rankings are available.
