About AMC（American Mathematics Competition）
The AMC (American Mathematics Competition), established in 1951 by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), is one of the most prestigious math contests in the world. Every year, over 300,000 registered students in North America alone participate in the competition. The AMC is widely recognized as the most credible math assessment globally, with synchronized testing conducted in more than 20 countries outside the U.S.
The AMC serves not only as a talent pool for America’s top math students but also provides schools with a reliable evaluation of applicants’ mathematical abilities. As a result, many students gain admission to their dream schools thanks to their outstanding AMC performance.
