About AMC 12

The AMC 12 is a highly selective mathematics competition designed to identify exceptional mathematical talent among students in grades 12 and below. As an extension of the AMC 10, it offers a more challenging set of problems that demand a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The competition consists of 25 multiple-choice questions to be solved within 75 minutes. The problems cover a broader range of mathematical topics than the AMC 10, including precalculus, trigonometry, and introductory calculus concepts. This requires students to possess a strong foundation in algebra, geometry, and number theory, as well as the ability to apply these concepts to novel problem-solving situations.  

Overview

  • Purpose: To identify mathematically exceptional students in grades 12 and below.
  • Format: 25 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 75 minutes.
  • Content: Covers a broader range of topics than the AMC 10, including precalculus, trigonometry, and introductory calculus concepts.
  • Difficulty: Problems are generally more challenging than those on the AMC 10, requiring a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
  • Scoring: Similar to the AMC 10, raw scores are converted to a scaled score, with high scorers invited to the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME).
  • Preparation: Rigorous math coursework, practice with challenging problems, and exposure to a variety of mathematical topics are essential.

Similar to the AMC 10, high scorers on the AMC 12 qualify for the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), a further level of mathematical competition. Success in the AMC 12 is widely recognized as a significant achievement and can provide a competitive edge in the college admissions process.
